Taking the \textsc{CondTrue} rule as an example, this rule will only apply if the Boolean result of running the expression results in a \texttt{true} value. It then also states that the statement in the true branch of the conditional statement \textit{stt} runs from state $\sigma_{0}$ to state $\sigma_{1}$. If both of these conditions hold, we then get that the conditional statement will also run from state $\sigma_{0}$ to state $\sigma_{1}$. The \textsc{Blocking} and \textsc{Nonblocking} rules are a bit more interesting, as these modify the blocking and nonblocking association maps respectively.
