It is easy to see that only if at each stage the memory space made available by the waste production is sufficient for taking in the increment set of a file for the next stage, can the file be linear in that process. In order to state this with more precision we define a concept which we shall call [the] ''K-progressive process''. A process shall be said to be K-progressive if for all process-stages R and all files F | It is easy to see that only if at each stage the memory space made available by the waste production is sufficient for taking in the increment set of a file for the next stage, can the file be linear in that process.

If the process is K-progressive it follows from 1 that after stage R-1, for instance, free memory space >= K is available for the next stage, that is for stage R. For all F files involved the space required is | If the process is K-progressive it follows from 1 that after stage R-1, for instance, free memory space >= K is available for the next stage, that is for stage R.
