Closures of transitions relations


Section CLOSURES.

Variable genv: Type.
Variable state: Type.

A one-step transition relation has the following signature. It is parameterized by a global environment, which does not change during the transition. It relates the initial state of the transition with its final state. The trace parameter captures the observable events possibly generated during the transition.

Variable step: genv -> state -> trace -> state -> Prop.
