If this is a multitasking operating system or emulation thereof, schedule something other than this FSA to execute. > at the current state, while incrementing the timer? Remember that the timer is a sensor of reality. God increments real-time's timer for you. The sensor merely reads the progression of God's real-time. I would reword as "while time naturally passes" during other computations outside of this FSA. > timer = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - OK, the stimulus holds, and the transition is made? Yes, then evoking any Mealy response side-effects of traversing that transition, then evoking any Moore response upon entry into the state into which that transition ingresses.
