  "abstract": "This lecture treats functional simulation not as a demonstration of attractive waveforms but\n\nas a controlled, reproducible experiment on an RTL model. It covers hierarchy, testbench design, dis‐\n\ncrete-event time, safe clock/reset stimulus and sampling, reference models, automated checks, four-\n\nstate logic, VCD/FST tracing, diagnosis, and preservation of evidence. An eight-bit counter illustrates\n\nthe basic loop of requirement, stimulus, observation, oracle, and verdict. The four-sample moving-av‐\n\nerage filter connects L05 to the completed DDF-LAB-01 system-model exercise and the architectural\n\ndecision discussed in L04. The scope of claims is explicit: SIM_PASS does not imply SYNTH_PASS, TIM‐\n\nING_PASS, or a real-hardware result.",
