I'm not into hardware details either, just learning the basic operation.

What I'm saying is that the words "tick" and "tock" in Hardware Simulator test files seem to be equivalent to "time" elsewhere.

Description of "The Clock" on page 42 says a time unit (clock cycle) includes a tick and a tock.

But the general teaching of sequential logic seems to be:
time 0 set values
time 1 read the values
as shown in examples of Figure 3.5.

and not:
tick set values
tock read values
that we see in scripts.

Isn't there a conflict of terminology?
