State-transition diagrams

A state-transition diagram is a visual tool that shows how a system or process moves between different conditions or "states" over time. Each state represents a specific situation or mode, and arrows between them indicate possible changes triggered by certain events or inputs. This helps to understand the flow, behavior, and decision points within the system, making complex processes easier to analyze, design, or troubleshoot. It’s commonly used in software, engineering, and process management to clearly map out how systems react and evolve.
