Consider the Car machine.
- is a step of Car; is not.
- is an execution fragment of
Car.

are executions, but and
are not.
- All states in Car are reachable.
- 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 and are not.
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.
