some execution. The execution of a state machine, = (, ⊆ × , 0 ∈ ) is a (possibly infinite) sequence of states, (0 , 1 , … , ) that: 1. 0 = 0 (it begins with the start state) 2. ∀ ∈ 0, 1, … , − 1 . → +1 ∈ (if and are consecutive states in the sequence, there is an edge → ∈ .

, ⟶ , − 1 | ∀ ∈ ℕ, ∈ ℕ+} 0 ∷= (1, ) What preserved invariant would be useful? If we prove this to be invariant, at the end, 0 = means = . We will see more subtle aspects of this argument next time..
