Remarks

A Turn can represent a single function, a complex prompt computation, an RPC method, an external IO or any other kind of prompt computation. A Turn is a single unit of prompt computation within a single-threaded Scheduler. Complex computations involving one or more blocking states or multiple IOs can be broken up into a directed graph of Turns, each of which is scheduled independently and are typically linked together through a chain of Promises. Such a complex computation is considered complete when the Promise returned by its root Turn resolves.
