{"gt_parse": {"c2t": "The block diagram provided represents the states of a process in an operating system and the transitions between these states. Here is a detailed description of the diagram:1. **New**: This is the initial state when a process is first created. It has not yet been admitted to the pool of executable processes.2. **Admitted**: This transition occurs when the system has accepted the new process and it is ready to be scheduled for execution.3. **Ready**: After being admitted, the process moves to the ready state. In this state, the process is waiting to be assigned to a processor. It is ready to run but is not currently executing.4. **Scheduler Dispatch**: This is the action that moves a process from the ready state to the running state. The scheduler selects a process from the ready queue and assigns it to the CPU for execution.5. **Running**: When a process is in the running state, it is currently being executed on the processor.6. **Interrupt**: An interrupt can occur while a process is running, causing it to transition back to the ready state. This can happen for various reasons, such as the completion of a time slice in a preemptive multitasking system.7. **I/O or Event Wait**: If a running process requires an I/O operation or needs to wait for a certain event, it transitions to the waiting state. This is because the process cannot continue until the I/O operation is complete or the event it is waiting for occurs.8. **Waiting**: In the waiting state, the process is not executable; it must wait for some condition to be met or an I/O operation to complete.9. **I/O or Event Completion**: Once the I/O operation is finished or the event occurs, the process can leave the waiting state and move back to the ready state, where it will wait for the scheduler to dispatch it to the running state again.10. **Exit**: If a process completes its execution or is terminated by the operating system, it transitions from the running state to the terminated state.11. **Terminated**: This is the final state of a process. In this state, the process has finished execution and is waiting to be removed from the system by the operating system, which will then reclaim any resources that were allocated to it.The diagram illustrates a simplified view of the process lifecycle in an operating system, showing how processes move between different states based on system events and conditions."}}
