Update Instructions

An update instruction R is an expression

f([t]) := t0 

where f is a non-static function name (the subject of the instruction), [t] is a tuple of terms whose length equals the arity of f , and t0 is another term; if f is a relation name then t0 must be a Boolean term. (Update instructions are called local function updates in the tutorial.)
