    In more concrete terms this allows parallel transport to be described explicitly using the transport equation. Parallel transport along a curve c(t), with t taking values in [0,1], starting from a tangent from a tangent vector v 0 also amounts to finding a map v(t) from [0,1] to R 3 such that v(t) is a tangent vector to M at c(t) with v(0) = v 0.

    In this example, instruction 3 cannot be executed before (or even in parallel with) instruction 2, because instruction 3 uses a result from instruction 2. It violates condition 1, and thus introduces a flow dependency. 1: function NoDep(a, b) 2: c := a * b 3: d := 3 * b 4: e := a + b 5: end function
