The academic version of | <super-state name="phase one"> | <state name="invite murphy"/> | </super-state> | needs to be flushed out show a real-world example. Is the "invite murphy" state a non-start/non-stop state just hanging in the same processdefinition? Within the same processdefinithin within the start/stop flow process?
