   Yes it is, transition systems are based on state and flowcharts are stateless but can easily be made statefull. I'm not a PhD but here is a PhD that states this although I don't agree with all of his conclusions. http:/&#x2F

   If you step back and look at a flowchart or thousands of flowcharts that represent parallel tasks, I think the object of the patent is to get those flowcharts to propagate (i.e. execute on their own) without a processor. The propagation flo

   Take a look at the you know solutions patent. It doesn't use handshaking and the design can be clockless. https://www.freepatentsonline.com/10181003.html

   It's not really similar to ladder logic but in those days it did the same thing, controlled machines. In ladder logic all of the rungs of the ladder are evaluated all of the time but with flowcharts only the necessary part of each flow

   I am familiar with the you know solutions patents and the one you refer to is for parallelizing C code and other languages into the flowcharts. Here is a link to the asynchronous design patent called "processing circuits for parallel a
