Other Forms
Simultaneous transitions in multiple finite state machines can be shown in what is effectively an n-dimensional state transition table in which pairs of rows map (sets of) current states to next states. This is an alternative to representing communication between separate, interdependent state machines.
At the other extreme, separate tables have been used for each of the transitions within a single state machine: "AND/OR tables" are similar to incomplete decision tables in which the decision for the rules which are present is implicitly the activation of the associated transition.

Famous quotes containing the word forms:
“I believe, as Lenin said, that this revolutionary chaos may yet crystallize into new forms of life.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
“It would be easy ... to regard the whole of world 3 as timeless, as Plato suggested of his world of Forms or Ideas.... I propose a different view—one which, I have found, is surprisingly fruitful. I regard world 3 as being essentially the product of the human mind.... More precisely, I regard the world 3 of problems, theories, and critical arguments as one of the results of the evolution of human language, and as acting back on this evolution.”
—Karl Popper (1902–1994)
