-**Transition vs. Transition Management**\\ +**Transition pathway vs. scenario** \\ 
-A **transition** is the actual shift in the sociotechnical system, which is often emergent and uncoordinated. **Transition management** refers to the deliberate attempt by policy actors to influence the speed and direction of that shift toward specific societal goals.+Scenarios describe plausible future states without prescribing how to reach them. Transition pathways describe the co-evolutionary routes by which a regime transformation unfolds, connecting actions and strategies across timescales. A pathway has an explicit normative orientation and a long-term vision as its endpoint; a scenario may be exploratory and value-neutral. See [[topics:scenarios|Scenarios]].

-**Path Dependency vs. Branching Points**\\ +**Transition pathway vs. transition** \\ 
-**Path dependency** describes the tendency of a system to continue along a trajectory due to past investments and rules. **Branching points** are the specific moments of openness where this dependency can be broken or significantly redirected through actor choices.+A transition is the outcome — the systemic reconfiguration of a socio-technical regime. A transition pathway is the analytical description of the route through which that reconfiguration occurs. The same transition may be interpreted through different pathway types depending on which actors, pressures, and timescales are emphasised. See [[topics:transitions|Transitions]].
