Petri / Colored Petri Net (CPN)
How you-agent-factory maps factory topology onto a Petri / Colored Petri Net (CPN) execution model: places, colored tokens, transitions, and markings.
How To Use
A place is a work-type state such as task:init. A colored token is submitted work occupying a place; it carries work-type identity and payload so the runtime can tell which work sits where. A transition is a workstation that consumes tokens from its input places and emits outcomes onto output places. A marking is which tokens currently sit in which places. A transition is enabled when its input places have matching tokens ready to consume. Read one compact factory run as a Petri / Colored Petri Net (CPN). You submit work for a task work type; the runtime places a colored token in the initial place task:init. A workstation whose inputs include task:init becomes enabled when that matching token is present. The transition fires: the workstation consumes the token and dispatches its worker. When the worker finishes, the workstation routes the token to an outcome place — accepted success, continue for ordinary partial progress, rejection, or failure. The diagram below shows that place → transition → place token flow for the accepted path, with the other outcome places drawn as alternate routes.
