One more idea: if think state/processes like a number, which can seen 
in the context of series as the constant series, and therefore a number 
may be seen as a special case of a series, you have right.

My point of view is more that of quantum theory: no state can be 
observed, until one make a measurement and than set the observable to a 
fix value.  The measurement in processes would be a time slice at least 
or a applying projection operator in qauntum theory.

Greetings
