The divergence of control streams can be implemented in an SCR program by using multiple
SCRT instructions enabled by the same transition condition, as shown in the following
example.

Convergent flow control
When streams converge, all incoming streams must be complete before the next state is
executed.
The convergence of control streams can be implemented in an SCR program by making the
transition from state L to state L' and by making the transition from state M to state M'. When
both SCR bits representing L' and M' are true, state N is enabled as shown in the following
example.
