+## REMAP Parallel Reduction pseudocode
+
+The python3 program below is stand-alone executable and is the Canonical Specification
+for Parallel Reduction REMAP. Alternative implementations producing different ordering
+is prohibited.  The Algorithm below is not limited to RADIX2 sizes, and Predicate
+sources, unlike in Matrix REMAP, apply to the Element Indices **after** REMAP
+has been applied, not before.  MV operations are not required: the algorithm
+tracks positions of elements that would normally be moved and when applying
+an Element Reduction Operation sources the operands from their last-known (tracked)
+position.
