history

The history pseudostate, also referred to as shallow history, represents the most recent active substate of its containing state. Unlike deep history, history does not represent the history of any substates of that substate.

A composite state can have at most one history pseudostate. A transition into history is equivalent to a transition coming into the most recent active substate of a state. At most, one transition may originate from the history pseudostate to the default history state. This transition is taken in case the composite state has never been active before and therefore the history is empty. Entry actions of states entered on the path to the state represented by a history are performed.
