The current description of process execution:
"The activity that a process execution represents has a duration, delimited by its start and its end; hence, it occurs over a continuous time interval."

What if the process execution was started (at t1), paused (at t2), and restarted (at t3) terminated (at t4), then its duration is t1-t2 and t3-t4 which is not a continuous time interval.

I propose that we should remove "continuous" from the above description.

Best,
Satya
