Atlas / Graph Model

Atlas represents each application as a directed graph of UI states and transitions.

This page focuses purely on the structural model: how states and transitions form a graph, independent of storage format or ontology details.

Basic Definitions

• State
  A node in the graph representing a specific UI configuration (screen, dialog, view, etc.).

• Transition
  A directed edge from one state to another, representing a user action that changes the UI (e.g., clicking a button, selecting a menu item, hitting a key).

• Graph
  For a given application context (app ID, version, platform, locale), the set of all states and transitions discovered by Theseus.

      |
      +--(Click "Open")------------> [Open File Dialog]
      |
      +--(Click "Settings")--------> [Settings Screen]
