# Build state model

The Gradle daemon tracks state for various elements. These are arranged in a hierarchy:

```mermaid
  graph TD

  process["build process"]
  
  session["build session"]
  process --> session
  
  build_tree["build tree"]
  session --> build_tree
  
  build1["root build"]
  build_tree --> build1
  
  project1["root project"]
  build1 --> project1
  
  project2["project"]
  build1 --> project2
