【 摘 要 】

We find the term in many areas of human activity. Usually, an intuitive understanding of this term and the ways of its use can be expected. However, a more precise definition of the term state is necessary for the wider development of the state-oriented approach to modeling and consequently the possibility of automated processing. This article is a contribution to efforts to define such a definition, which would be sufficiently precise but also accessible to a sufficient number of interested parties to use a state-oriented approach in corporate practice. The paper provides a definition of basic concepts and explains how to understand the relevant definitions for both a continuous and a discrete environment.
