Statedepending

Statedepending is not a widely established term in scholarly literature. It appears to be a concatenation of “state-dependent” or a misspelling of that phrase. When used, it denotes phenomena, models, or analyses in which outcomes depend on the current state of a system or environment. The preferred and widely recognized forms are “state-dependent” (adjective) and “state dependence” (noun).

In psychology, state-dependent memory or learning refers to improved recall when the encoding and retrieval states match. In pharmacology, state-dependent effects occur when a drug’s impact varies with physiological or pharmacokinetic state. In control theory or computer science, state-dependent control policies adjust action selection based on the system state. In economics or decision theory, state-dependent rules adapt to the observed state of the world, such as market conditions.

Because “statedepending” is not standard, readers may encounter typos or ad hoc coinages. If you mean state-dependent, use that form to convey the intended meaning clearly. The concept is related to context-sensitive behavior and conditional operations, and is often analyzed with state variables that capture the relevant information about the system.
