C.29.3:4.3 - Construct the actions that execute the operations

For each operation whose realization is unresolved, identify what the system does and how its state changes. Connect sequences through the state they leave for the next operation.

When one logical operation spans several physical actions, examine the intervening states. Reserving a card, crossing a room boundary and returning the card are separate events. A visitor can be outside while the card is unavailable. Either show that the intervening behavior preserves the needed result, or change the model or the arrangement.

For shared operation, determine how the same resource or state is accessed. Exclusive possession means that each card can be held by only one participant at a time. Independent copies of an available-card count require a different coordination mechanism. The applicable engineering or administrative method supplies that mechanism.

For repeated or timed operation, include completion, reset and ordering where they affect the result. Two relative increments add only when both are executed under the intended rule. Repeating an absolute target ordinarily asks for the same target again. An ongoing physical process can require a temporal model rather than a sequence of instantaneous assignments.

A physical evolution can itself perform the computation. Determine which initial preparation, controls and interval make its readout useful. A sampler may use a stationary law; a finite-time estimator may use a transient. Choose the evolution and reading rule for the requested result.

A.3.3 supplies the construction of state and permitted continuations. A.6.1:4.6 supplies the realization relation when a reusable operation declaration needs it. Their contributions leave the particular circuit, physical interaction or operating procedure to its subject method.
