I've done more research into this and figured I'd send out my findings to the group:
1) Yes 2) It seems you never write to state E. If you revert to state E, what happens is you get a new state that is the same as state E (in the diagram, envision state D being gone after reverting to state E and a new state F that's the Active state alongside state E - F is the Active state, so that's where your writes/reads go to).
