The others all involve the use of finite state machines.

This code describes the state machine for a very basic car radio system.

And so we get a 676-state state machine because that's 26x26.

The state machine actually controls the behavior of the organism.

"Are you not also part of the state machine?"

The state machine has access to all the registers, both directly and indirectly.

Each process agent is a state machine that contributes to the action carried out by the system.

The state machines might not even be on the same machine.

A state machine generally has no notion of such a progression.

One of his early books was on finite state machines.
