[AccessD] State machines

Hi John,

You may find also interesting to read (in free time) on foundations of State
machines: here are just a few of subjects related to this thread as well as
(software) programming in general I happened to study in the college and
after I got graduated. I can't say I succeeded in all but I liked to study
(some of) them :)

Finite State machine

Hidden Markov model

Markov network

Higher-order logic

And here is one of the modern generally accepted in software design way of
visual representation of State machines...

There are quite some more useful diagram types in UML:
