I've not used it but from what I understand:
Sequential mode:
1. Insert facts
2. Create activations.
3. Fire all activations.
4. Done.
None Sequential (Standard) mode:
1. Insert facts.
2. Create initial activations.
3. Pop and fire highest salience activation.
4. Update activations (if update, retract etc was performed).
5. If there are more activations goto 3.
6. Done.
They key difference is that in the standard mode rule consequences can activate and
deactivate activations as they update the working memory.

Subject: Re: [rules-users] Stateless K-Session but no Sequential Mode
Indeed I have, and I've read it down to the last paragraph:
"Sequential mode can only be used with a Stateless Session and is off
by default. To turn it on, either call..." This tells me about a
StatelessKnowledgeSession WITH sequential mode.
So, what if I create a StatelessKnowledgeSession from a KnowledgeBase,
but do not turn sequential mode on?
