Flow diagrams

Colors follow the site: gray boxes are tasks and checks; blue parallelograms are human acts; yellow cylinders are pages and records; green is a good outcome; red is a strike, a refusal, a halt or an expiry.

box

a task or check that TPS names; TPX, the CAC or an agent performs it. The address at the end (5.5.2, row 19, SR3, CR9) says where TPS states it.

parallelogram

a human act, a declaration, a review or a decision. Only a human does it.

cylinder

a page or a record, something that exists on the wiki or in the register after the step before it.

shaded, numbered region

a stage; its title carries the TPS addresses that govern it.

solid arrow

the next step; its label is the condition or the outcome (pass, fail, match, mismatch, strike).

dashed arrow

a return or a rejection path.

State and sequence diagrams

state (rounded box)

a named condition a container or a block can be in; the arrow label is the event and its TPS address.

filled circle, ringed circle

start and end.

sequence lane

a participant (a human, TPX, a page, an agent); solid arrow an action, dashed arrow a reply or a check; a note is a rule.
