The following terms may overlap with transition, but are not treated as identical without review:

  • state change;
  • state transition;
  • workflow transition;
  • transaction;
  • lifecycle transition.

Adjacent Terms​

The following terms are adjacent because they may describe nearby system movement without necessarily carrying governance consequence:

  • event;
  • action;
  • operation;
  • request;
  • process step.

Definition​

A transition is a movement from one governed state to another.

In StegVerse vocabulary, a transition is not merely a technical change. It is a governance-relevant change that may carry consequence.

Why The StegVerse Term Is Retained​

The StegVerse term is retained because overlapping terms may describe movement or state change without requiring authority, policy, evidence, review posture, receipt, and consequence-standing analysis.

Transition Components​

A transition can include:

  • an originating state;
  • a proposed target state;
  • an actor or agent;
  • an authority claim;
  • a policy reference;
  • an evidence posture;
  • a review posture;
  • a decision result;
  • a receipt.

Transition Question​

The core transition question is:

May this proposed state change bind under the current authority, policy, evidence, and context conditions?
