Consider the Car machine.

- In an event-based viewpoint
and
are traces of
Car but
and
are not. - In a state-based viewpoint
and
are traces of
Car but

Finally, using the event-based definition of trace, we have
Using the state-based definition, we have
In both cases the empty sequence is a member of the behavior.
