If p2 can be a computer program, I'm not sure how it can be an
intention too. If p3 is the intention, where do p2 and z2 go? But I
won't claim to understand "platu".

There's no simple verb for that in Spanish, we would say "tener la
intención de".
There is however the cognate "intentar", which means try/attempt.
Which makes me wonder, whether there is any difference between "troci"
and "zukte" other than switching their x2/x3:
troci = setese zukte?
zukte = setese troci?

Sounds good. I'll try to remember it next time I need "intends".
One word I had trouble translating recently was "x1 accedes to do x2"
(and it's opposite "x1 refuses to do x2").
These could be:
"ko'a spuda lo nu ko'a te cpedu lo nu ko'a gasnu ko'e kei ko'i kei lo
nu ko'a drasa lo nu ko'a gasnu ko'e"
"x1 responds to being requested to do x2 by x3 with the intention to do x2"
"x1 accedes to do x2 (for x3)"
"ko'a spuda lo nu ko'a te cpedu lo nu ko'a gasnu ko'e kei ko'i kei lo
nu ko'a drasa lo nu ko'a na gasnu ko'e"
"x1 responds to being requested to do x2 by x3 with the intention to not do x2"
"x1 refuses to do x2 (for x3)"
I don't know whether "drasyspu", "nardrasyspu" would be clear enough though.
Any better ideas?
