Abstract
Additional logic is added to a sequential finite-state machine circuit having a self-initialing behavior so that the circuit can be simulated. From any state, a rest state is reached by way of a given sequence of values of an input signal. Transitions between states of the finite-state machine are realized by the additional logic, such that the simulated circuit realizes the transition from an unknown state to a known, absorbing state in steps.
