- Creating multi-step processes with variable binding
- Building workflows that must survive restarts
- When NDI (Nondeterministic Idempotence) is needed

## Process

1. **Define** formula steps and variables in TOML format
2. **Validate** formula structure and dependencies
3. **Cook** into protomolecule (resolve variables, freeze)
4. **Test** by instantiating a trial molecule
5. **Register** in the formula library for reuse
