  Decision Taking is discussed in the context of the role it may play for a
selling agent in a search market, in particular for agents involved in the sale
of valuable and relatively unique items, such as a dwelling, a second hand car,
or a second hand recreational vessel.
  Detailed connections are made between the architecture of decision making
processes and a sample of software technology based concepts including
instruction sequences, multi-threading, and thread algebra.
  Ample attention is paid to the initialization or startup of a thread
dedicated to achieving a given objective, and to corresponding decision taking.
As an application, the selling of an item is taken as an objective to be
achieved by running a thread that was designed for that purpose.
