[Characteristic] Cell Inheritance [Nature] Cells in the human body have the same basic structure with a cell wall, cytoplasm, nucleus, DNA, RNA etc. Individual cells have further refinements to the basic structure to perform the specific function assigned to them.
In complex real-time systems all state machine objects in a sub-system share common characteristics. These characteristics can be abstracted in a common base state machine class. The individual state machines inherit from the base state machine class. For more details, refer to the article on state machine inheritance.
