Milner's Vending Machine

This file formalises Milner's vending machine example for CCS.

We formalise two versions:

• A machine with a deterministic LTS: coin.(tea.VM + coffee.VM).
• A machine with a nondeterministic LTS: coin.tea.VM + coin.coffee.VM.

We then prove the classical example that the two are not bisimilar.

Future work on proving that the two vending machines are trace equivalent would be welcome.
