+# Idea
+Each machine, on its own, can be represented as some kind of automaton.
+These types of automata, have special input and output transitions.
+
+Combining two machines into a larger system, means "synchronizing" the two automata, based on their input/output transitions.
+So if one machine acts as the input for the other, then they synchronize at their respective input/output edges and then continue running independently.
+
+# Example 
+{% mermaid() %}
+graph LR 
+    S --Output--> S
+{% end %}
+{% mermaid() %}
+graph LR 
+    S --Input--> 1
+    1 --'-'--> 1
+{% end %}
+
+{% mermaid() %}
+graph LR 
+    S --'-'--> 1
+{% end %}
+{% mermaid() %}
+graph LR 
+    S --'-'--> 1
+{% end %}
