Moore reduction procedure only. Every partition from then on has groupings that are based on which group from the previous partition those states' next state fell under. The procedure is complete when partition "n" is the same as partition formula_1. States that are distinguishable on the "k" partition are called k"-distinguishable states. States that are in the same group on the "k" partition are called k"-equivalent. Note that states that are "k"-equivalent at one point are not necessarily equivalent states, as they may be separated into separate groups in a higher partition. The procedure is as follows: Moore reduction procedure In computer science,
