Simulation Preorder - Similarity of Separate Transition Systems

Similarity of Separate Transition Systems

When comparing two different transition systems (S', Λ', →') and (S' ', Λ' ', →' '), the basic notions of simulation and similarity can be used by forming the disjoint composition of the two machines, (S, Λ, →) with S = S' ∐ S' ', Λ = Λ' ∪ Λ' ' and → = →' ∪ →' ', where ∐ is the disjoint union operator between sets.

    “Incompatibility. In matrimony a similarity of tastes, particularly the taste for domination.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart, separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can break them one by one. You think, “That is all there was!” But twist them all together and you have something tremendous.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “The god or hero of the sculptor is always represented in a transition from that which is representable to the senses, to that which is not.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)
