Editing hierarchies Statecharts can get rather big and complex. *"Composite states":30_statechart_language#composite-state* are a way to reduce complexity and thus make statecharts easier to create, comprehend and maintain. A composite state comprises a state machine of its own within a "region":30_statechart_language#region. The states belonging to such a nested state machine are called *substates*. *"Orthogonal states":30_statechart_language#orthogonal-states* are a generalization of composite states, comprising two or more independent state machines in separate regions that are executed in parallel.
