That would be because it's still very much an open area of research and nobody's quite sure what it covers.
The one-line answer would be "pure transformations of data structures based on passed-in events" --- but that's so general it describes most Haskell programs. One additional part is that it's also a function of time... but time can be just one of the events, or a separate factor.
