action^2

subject fact

action^2 has definition Something that takes place effectively instantaneously when a transition occurs in a state diagram, or upon entry or exit from a state 2001-08-30 14:54:27.0
has example as sending a message, starting a hardware device or setting a variable
is a subtopic of 8.2 - State Diagrams
is caused by one of the following situations:
When the system takes a particular transition
Upon entry into a particular state, no matter which transition causes entry into that state
Upon exit from a particular state, no matter which transition is being taken
2001-08-30 14:54:27.0
is a kind of action
is a kind of computation
must be simple because it should take place with no noticeable consumption of time
occurs instantaneously
