In logic, a transient state refers to a state that is not permanent or stable. It is a condition that exists for a limited period of time and can change or transition into another state. Transient states are commonly used in various logical systems, such as finite state machines, where they represent intermediate steps or temporary conditions during the execution of a process or system. These states typically do not have long-term significance and are eventually replaced by other states as the system progresses. # References ```dataview Table title as Title, authors as Authors where contains(subject, "transient") ```
