 To execute, calculate 
 , get some a' from the reserve and redefine basic functions on tuples involving a' in
such a way that a and a' become indistinguishable as arguments.  Then
execute 
 with v equal a' .Duplication can be seen as a powerful inheritance mechanism.  It is easy to
see that the extend construct is not powerful enough to replace
duplication.
