Comment:
"Some algorithms run in parallel; this means that the algorithm's subsequent
steps are to be run, *one after another*, at the same time as other logic in
the specification" This doesn't mean "spawn a new thread for each and every
subsequent steps", correct? If so, then it isn't "in parallel".

It is in parallel with the surrounding steps.
