Application

An application in the Fair Math Computer consists of two main components:

1. External Functions — These are functions that take input and return output. Each function performs a specific sequence of instructions and serves as an entry point to the application. Importantly, these functions cannot directly call other functions within the same application.

2. Global Variables — These are variables available throughout the application's execution. They can have various types, such as integers, arrays, or ciphertexts.

By default, the application starts with the main function unless another function is explicitly specified. The main function acts as the primary entry point.

When an application is launched, a process is created. This process remains active until the application explicitly calls the exit function (or is terminated by the operating system). The process manages the application’s state, resources, and execution flow throughout its lifecycle.
