If a finite state machine is proven to require more states than physically available in a microcontroller, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

If the number of states required exceeds the available physical states, the machine cannot be realized, because the state transitions cannot be correctly represented; therefore, the machine's execution becomes impossible, rather than the alternatives related to energy, livelock or thermal changes.
