EMULSION: Transparent and flexible multiscale stochastic models in human, animal and plant epidemiology

Structure of a transition between two states in state machines.
Individuals can be given a duration and actions when entering, staying in, or leaving the state. Transitions feature a rate, probability, or amount, and can be associated with actions performed on crossing, time-dependent ("calendar") conditions, or individual conditions restricting the capability to cross the transition, and escape conditions allowing individuals to leave their state before the nominal duration.
