Key Concepts

Persistent Submachine

A persistent submachine is a collection of states within a state machine that, once entered, the system continues to operate within indefinitely. It may interact with other states internally, but transitions from outside maintain the system within this submachine, ensuring long?term recurrence of its states.

Isolated Submachine

An isolated submachine is a subset of a state machine in which all transitions originating from any state within the submachine remain inside it, with no transitions leading to states outside. This feature indicates that once the system enters this submachine, it cannot exit to interact with the rest of the machine.

Maximal Decomposition

Maximal decomposition refers to the process of breaking a state machine into the largest possible independent submachines that do not interact with each other beyond their defined boundaries. This concept is used to simplify the analysis of complex systems by studying their separate, non-overlapping components.

State Machine

A state machine is an abstract model used to represent a system with a finite number of states and transitions between them. It is used to analyze sequential behaviors and decision processes, and forms the basis for understanding computation and control in discrete systems.

Transition Graph

The transition graph is a visual representation of a state machine where nodes represent states and edges represent the transitions between states. It is crucial for determining reachability, such as computing functions like G(5,9), which examines the transitions between specified states.
