Definition
A state is a possible configuration of the organization of a Field in its totality or of more or less extended domains.
More in general, a state of an Entity is represented by the set of the attributes, of the Properties of that entity, of the Events that occur in / on it and of the relations that links it to the environment (the set of the other existing entities).
Configuration of a dynamic system, set of the values of the parameters that describe the system. A condition of a property of a System.
States does not really exist. Time cannot be stopped. We can take a snapshot, and call that a state. But it is always an abstraction. Systems incessantly evolve, even when they appear static and stable. States, to which Information / Energy correspond, do not exist in Reality, because Time never stops.
