It is used to describe behaviours of Concurrency computer science concurrent systems . Details Statements in temporal logic are of the form math A t math , where A is an action and t contains a subset of the variables appearing in A . An action is an expression containing primed and non primed variables, such as math x x y y math . The meaning of the non primed variables is the variable s value in this state . The meaning of primed variables is the variable s value in the next state . The above expression means the value of x now , plus the value of x tomorrow times the value of y now , equals the value of y tomorrow . The meaning of math A t math is that either A is valid now, or the variables appearing in t do not change. This allows for stuttering steps, in which none of the program variables change their values.
