Hi Christophe

I don't really see the reason of this in your logic

I think evaluation of deferred events has to be done when the state
has changed and not at each event processing.
the event shall be staying deferred as long as the state / states are
the same and shall be reprocessed after a state change.

so for me :

- step3, we just processed event4, is state changed and do we have a
deferred event? No, event3, stays in deferred queue.

This would solve the problem from my other example as well.

Cheers
Richie
