Intro

State

A supporting term for the messages.

A Context in which there is no acknowledged change in the attributes of any Entity.

Comments

Scope: A Context in which some Resource or Party exists in an unchanging state: e.g., a Person lives, a Product is Available, an Error is present. Changes are brought about by Events, which give rise to new States. It is not that no attributes of a Resource or Party change, only that that their defined attributes within that Context do not change. Example: if a Person is resident in Canada from 2001 to 2003, this means that their resident status does not change in that period. The fact that they may get married or sign a recording contract in that period does not affect the unchanging nature of their State of residence.

Examples: The availability status of a product; a marriage; the physical existence ('life') of Winston Churchill; a conflict of truth value between two statements
