Tuple space

Tuple space is like an imaginary 'box' that holds things called tuples. Tuples are like pieces of paper that you can put information on. They have a specific order and they can tell the computer what to do. Tuples are like instructions that the computer follows in order to do something. For example, a tuple might say "add 2 and 3 together" and the computer will do that. Tuples can also have information on them like your name or a color. So the tuple space is like a box that holds these pieces of paper and the computer knows how to read them.
