  6. One of several mathematical representations of discrete distributed systems, a 5-tuple (S,T,F,M_0,W)!, where
    W:F→ℕ⁺ is a set of arc weights, which assigns to each arc f∈F some n∈ℕ⁺ denoting how many tokens are consumed from a place by a transition, or alternatively, how many tokens are produced by a transition and put into each place.
