6 ShaneHowearth 1 A conceptual model of a computer (or a computer program) which represents the computation in terms of a finite number of states and transitions between them. This is the closest commonly used paradigm to both the [TuringMachine] and JohnVonNeumann's automata, and is widely used in parsers. Often implemented with the much-maligned [GoTo].
