... objects1
In the practical implementation of PNtalk there is a possibility of using primitive classes with methods which change the state of the appropriate primitive objects, too. However, their usage makes it impossible even to think about a formal analysis, and it can also slow down the simulation (see [*]). The semantics of the transition firing in this case is similar to the one connected to non-primitive message receivers.

... transition2
This is the case of using the implicit method new. If a constructor method is used, a combination of N-, F-, and J-events arises.
