## Build state model

As Gradle executes, it acts on various pieces of the build definition, such as each project in the build.
Gradle tracks the state of each piece and transitions each piece through its lifecycle as the build runs.

A central part of the Gradle architecture is the "build state model", which holds the state for each piece and coordinates state transitions and other mutations. 

    
```

These are all Java processes. Each process has a corresponding "runtime".
All source code in Gradle is written to target one or more of these runtimes.
Most source code targets the daemon and the remaining code either targets a single runtime, for example the Gradle client, or is shared across multiple runtimes.

## Composition by architecture modules

The project state is managed by the `ProjectState` class.
It is created for each project in the build definition, once per build execution and is discarded at the end of the execution.

## Composition by architecture modules

Each [architecture module and platform](platforms.md) can contribute code to any of the elements.
Not every module contributes to every element.

    `CMD` takes a list of strings, each of these strings is what you would type in the command line separated by spaces.

    This command will be run from the **current working directory**, the same `/code` directory you set above with `WORKDIR /code`.

You should now have a directory structure like:

### Things to know

- Fields such as `version` and `pools` are mandatory, however all other fields are optional.
- Each pool expects a minimum of 2 nodes per pool, and unique non-repeating hosts for each argument.
- Each pool expects each host in this pool has the same number of drives specified as any other host.

* The process can be **terminated** (or "killed") by you, or by the operating system. At that point, it stops running/being executed, and it can **no longer do things**.
* Each application that you have running on your computer has some process behind it, each running program, each window, etc. And there are normally many processes running **at the same time** while a computer is on.
