Although the language Lucid was not originally intended to support computing with infinite data structures, the notion of (infinite) sequence quickly came to the fore, together with a demanddriven computation model in which demands are propagated for the values of particular values at particular index points. This naturally generalized to sequences of multiple dimensions so that a programmer co...

The language Lucid has been developed by the authors over a period of ten years. In that time, the language has undergone many revisions and, even, drastic changes in syntax. As a consequence, all of the published literature on Lucid (for example [2, 3, 1]) does not refer to the current version of the language. With the current version, the language has arrived, finally, at a stable, finished f...

Isolated sleep paralysis (ISP) is a poorly understood phenomenon that has attracted increased attention in recent years both in the medical community (Dahlitz & Parkes, 1993; Hishikawa & Shimizu, 1995) and in psychological research (Fukuda et al., 1987, 1991; Fukuda, 1993; Takeuchi et al., 1994; Wing et al., 1994). Although the occurrence of ISP is relatively common, recurrent ISP (RISP) is a r...
