Pdfsm deterministic finite state machine

superclass: ListPattern

Pdfsm is a deterministic finite state machine with signal input (written by by ccos).

list a list consisting of the stream which gives input signals to determine state

transitions, and then dictionary entries, one for each state, mapping the destinattion

state and yield streams to those input signals.

startState an integer index for the state to start with. defaults to 0.

repeats an integer giving the number of times the pattern should cycle.

a cycle ends when the signal stream ends or nil is given for the destination

state to a signal value, see below. defaults to 1

list structure:

[

signal stream can be a stream of anything which can serve as a key for

an associative collection. integers, symbols, etc...

asStream is called on this for each repeat.

states states should be an instance of IdentityDictionary, Event

or some other associative collection

]

list syntax:

[

signal stream,

( // state 0,

signal value : [destination state, return stream or pattern],

signal value : [destination state, return stream or pattern]

),

... // state 1 ... N

]

Any number of states can be given, and are indexed by the order in which they are given.

If the fsm is in state x and it receives a signal value y it looks up y in the state dictionary

supplied for x, if there is no y entry, it looks for a \default entry and uses that.

The next state is then set to destination state, and the stream yielded is given by return stream or pattern.

that is unless the destination state is given as nil, or if a destination state is given for which you have not

supplied a dictionary - in both cases the current cycle ends and any remaining repeats are executed.

If there is no signal value given for a particular signal, and no \default is supplied then one will get a runtime error.
