Behaviors

Given an input sequence

x = (x(0), x(1), x(2), ... ),

if a state machine can produce the output sequence

y = (y(0), y(1), y(2), ... ),

then (x, y) is said to be a behavior of the state machine. The set of all behaviors of a state machine obviously satisfies

BehaviorsInputSignals × OutputSignals

where

InputSignals = [Naturals0 Inputs]

OutputSignals = [Naturals0 Outputs]
