--------------

A state machine is a subset of a workflow and its purpose is to hold a state of
your model. The most important difference is that a state machine cannot be in
more than one place simultaneously. Another difference is that workflows usually
don't have cyclic paths in the definition graph, but it's common for state
machines.
your model. The most important differences between them are:

* Workflows can be in more than one place at the same time, whereas state
machines can't;
* Workflows usually don't have cyclic paths in the definition graph, but it's
common for state machines;
* In order to apply a transition, worflows require that the object is in all the
previous places of the transition, whereas state machines only require that
the object is at least in one of those places.
