Tiladiagrammissa

Tiladiagrammissa is a Finnish locative form used in technical Finnish to refer to something located within a state diagram (tiladiagrammi). The term is formed from tiladiagrammi meaning “state diagram” and the inessive suffix -ssa, yielding “in the state diagram.” It is commonly found in documentation, textbooks, and specifications describing discrete-state models such as finite-state machines, control systems, or workflow diagrams.

Etymology and usage context: Tiladiagrammissa indicates position or reference inside the diagram rather than a property of an element outside it. It is used when describing states, transitions, or subillustrations as they appear within the visual or formal representation of the model. For example, one might say: “Kone siirtyy tilasta Idle tilaan Processing tiladiagrammissa,” meaning the machine moves from the Idle state to the Processing state in the state diagram.

Distinctions and related terms: The form is specific to Finnish grammar and tasks involving diagrams. Related terms include tiladiagrammi (state diagram), tilakone (state machine), and tiladiagrammiin or tiladiagrammista, which express directions into or from the diagram. In Finnish-language texts, tiladiagrammissa is typically used to ground statements in the diagram itself rather than in abstract descriptions.
