  How did it get to that state?

  Since the client didn't put it into that state, it means that an
operator or error must have forced this, so it's an error.  Life does
not always go as planned.
  If the client does not do PAUSED state, the system shouldn't get into
that state.  

  The client, upon seeing a state that it does not understand could
attempt to recover by requesting a transition to primary state that it
does understand.

  Where are they attached?
