State Machine

A StateMachine can be described as:

• An initial state or record of something stored someplace
• A set of possible input events
• A set of new states that may result from the input
• A set of possible actions or output events that result from a new state

A TuringMachine is an example of a StateMachine. So is a FiniteStateMachine.

Can a StateMachine be represented by WikiPage s? For instance would you put

StateOne --(event_type_1 as plain text on the same page)--> StateTwo


or

StateOne --(EventTypeOne)-->


Then have EventOne with a link to StateTwo. But then what if EventTypeOne applies to several States? Thinking here of using a PersonalWiki to model StateMachine s
