> The course of execution cannot be altered by the values of the input. Cache line eviction? All memory access is statically known in advance. Branch prediction? There are no branches This might be what it looks like before GHC had its way with it. After GHC inlining, optimization passes, rewrite rules, the code may well contain branches, conditional memory accesses, etc.
