2.5 The interaction – engine and zones

The switching mechanism generates the State_ID, which is sent to all zones. Each zone checks this ID and automatically activates the corresponding operant. An IN_OUT zone, for example, knows: "I am in state 2 → Operant S → perform action and wait for feedback."

As soon as the feedback is TRUE, the zone reports: "Sequence check fulfilled → S = 0."

The switching mechanism collects all reports: If no interlock is active and all S are satisfied, ΣS = 0 and the next state is released.
