Virtual Environment
The virtual environment characterises the environment in which a VFSM operates. It is defined by three sets of names:
- input names, represented by the control properties of all available variables
- output names, represented by all the available actions on the variables
- state names, as defined for each of the states of the FSM.
The input names build virtual conditions to perform state transitions or input actions. The virtual conditions are built using the positive logic algebra. The output names trigger actions (entry actions, exit actions, input actions or transition actions).

Famous quotes containing the words virtual and/or environment:
“Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
“Today the young actors regard their environment with rage and disgust. They regard their Master not as disciples regard their Master, but as slaves regard their Master.”
—Judith Malina (b. 1926)
