Abstract

In this book, we provide a new mathematical formalism for proving properties about the behavior of systems. A system is a collection of interacting components, each of which may have some internal implementation that is reflected in some external behavior. This external behavior is what other neighboring systems interact with, through a shared environment. Properties of a behavior can be established over a given duration (sometimes called frame or window) of time, and we propose a mathematical language for working with these behavioral properties.
