By your definition, then, the robot described by Mark Tilden's patent isn't
beam: it has an IR receiver that allows you to _remotely_ induce more
processes into the main loop.
Offhand, I think there are at least as many definitions of "BEAM" as there
are readers of this list and as a result you'll never achieve anything
approaching consensus.
