In the C2 domain, commutativity alone is not the property we are looking for.
Ideally, we would want all four combinations to be expressible.
In \cref{sec:scheduling} we will see how each of them can be expressed in the model we develop for the scheduler.
For the planner, we are for now content with a more modest goal.
An order constraint between two tasks should express that the tasks are not commutative and not parallelizable.
Unconstrained tasks should be commutative and parallelizable.
The planner can not identify tasks related by the remaining two combinations.
