Expressions must not have any side effects.
Expressions must not hold any state.

arity of two, as it compares exactly two expressions. A logical expression like
And or Or are n-ary, it must have at least two subexpressions, but
may have any number of expressions. In contrast to that, a Not must have
exactly one subexpression. If a maximum number of expressions is exceeded, a
WfRuntimeException
with the error code TOO_MANY_SUBEXPRESSIONS thrown.
