# State

System condition at time T

Layer: Infrastructure · Category: Data Structures

## Mechanism

The stored information representing the current [Condition](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Condition.md) of a [System](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/System.md).

## Invariants

- Persistence: State remains constant unless acted upon.
- Uniqueness: At time T, the system has exactly one State.

## Failure modes
