We present an abstract equational framework for the specification of systems having both observational and computational features. Our approach is based on a clear separation between the two categories of features, and uses algebra, respectively coalgebra to formalise them. This yields a coalgebraically-defined notion of observational indistinguishability, as well as an algebraically-defined notion of reachability under computations. The relationship between the computations yielding...
