+
+In SSA, at each program point, only variables who's definition point
+dominates the current program point can be evaluated using the SSA
+equations. It is therefore important that all the variables inside of
+the SSA form should always dominate the current program point, and
+especially with predicates that are propagated, these predicates will
+need to be adjusted to only contain the correct variables.
+
+This can be done by replacing any predicate, whether it's the condition
+or it's negation, by T. This will definitely be correct for the
+propagation of the truth values of predicates, but might not be
+sufficient for the value of ɣ functions.
