   Format: MarkdownItexI elaborated a bit in the "Idea" section, and also removed what I think was a redundancy in the "Definition" section: the definition of "automaton" given here was actually already exactly the notion of "deterministic, sequential, Moore automaton" from Joy of Cats, rather than a more general notion. I haven't read Joy of Cats (other than to look this up), so I'm not sure why they focused on this particular notion (and built a category out of it).
