# Running Applications

Applications in the Fair Math Computer are triggered through **transactions**, which can perform two types of actions:

1. **Starting a New Application**\
   A transaction can launch a new application by providing its unique identifier and any required input arguments. This creates a new **process** linked to the application. The process starts executing from the specified entry point or the **main** function by default.
2. **Calling a Specific Function**\
   A transaction can directly call an external function within a running application by providing the following details:
   * **Application ID**: Uniquely identifies the target application.
   * **Function Name**: Specifies the function to invoke as the entry point.
   * **Process ID**: Links the call to the correct application process.\
     Input arguments can be passed dynamically, enabling flexible interaction with the application during its execution.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fairmath.xyz/fhe-computer/operating-system/application/running-applications.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
