=== Ehrenfeucht–Fraïssé game definition === Bisimulation can also be thought of in terms of a game between two players: attacker and defender. "Attacker" goes first and may choose any valid transition, <math>\lambda</math>, from <math>(p,q)</math>. That is, <math display="block"> (p,q) \overset{\lambda}{\rightarrow} (p',q) </math> or <math display="block"> (p,q) \overset{\lambda}{\rightarrow} (p,q') </math> The "Defender" must then attempt to match that transition, <math>\lambda</math> from either <math>(p',q)</math> or <math>(p,q')</math> depending on the attacker's move. I.e., they must find an <math>\lambda</math> such that: <math display="block"> (p',q) \overset{\lambda}{\rightarrow} (p',q') </math> or <math display="block"> (p,q') \overset{\lambda}{\rightarrow} (p',q') </math> Attacker and defender continue to take alternating turns until: * The defender is unable to find any valid transitions to match the attacker's move. In this case the attacker wins. * The game reaches states <math>(p,q)</math> that are both 'dead' (i.e., there are no transitions from either state) In this case the defender wins * The game goes on forever, in which case the defender wins. * The game reaches states <math>(p,q)</math>, which have already been visited. This is equivalent to an infinite play and counts as a win for the defender. By the above definition the system is a bisimulation if and only if there exists a winning strategy for the defender.
