Restrictions on Divergence Sequence:
1. Max. 8 step points could be used for single divergence sequence. As the diagram below, there
are maximum 8 diverged steps S30 ~ S37 after step S20.
2. Max. 16 step points could be used for the convergence of multiple diverted sequences. As the
diagram below, there are 4 steps diverged after S40, 7 steps diverged after S41, and 5 steps
diverged after S42. There are maximum 16 loops in this sequence.
3. Users can assign a step in the sequence to jump to any step in another sequence.
