what is the difference between state and status?

[vincentff7]

when naming metric name and attribute name, what is the difference between state and status?

in https://opentelemetry.io/docs/reference/specification/metrics/semantic_conventions/system-metrics/: system.cpu.time, state=idle, user, system, interrupt, etc. system.memory.usage, state=used, free, cached, etc. system.processes.count, status=running, sleeping, etc.

I feel that for system.process it should be state as well.
