Definition 1. A state of a model A = (D, B, α^0), where D = (A, C, σ) and A = {X_1,…,X_n} is a tuple

S = (S(X_1),…,S(X_n)).

Definition 2. The initial state is defined as follows:

• am(X) = X, for any active agent X such that σ(X) = True.
• am(X) = I, for any active agent X such that σ(X) = False.
• am(X) = W, for any passive agent X.
• pc(X) = 1 for any active agent X in the running mode and pc(X) = 0 for other agents.
• ci(X) = [ ] for any active agent X.
• ci(X) contains names of all accessible procedures of X together with the direction of parameters transfer, e.g. in(a), out(b), etc. for any passive agent X.
• For any agent X, pv(X) contains X parameters with their initial values.
