- State: A state describes discrete change in the activity of a system on the physical electrical or the quantum level or the virtual level.
-
Invariant: A predicate (or property) that is perserved for each state across the states chain under all state transitions; that is
P(v)
is true for all the members of the set of labeled arcs or in Automata Theory the set of delta functions$$\Delta$$ representing the state transitions in an Automaton.
Here is an example of a non-null terminated list:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
typedef struct buffer (buffer);
struct buffer {
void *start_address;
void *end_address;
