sequence of rewrite steps that rewrites $x$ into $y$.
Also note that instead of a successor, $y$ can be any term
equivalent to $x$, that is, reducing to the same result, as long as
$x$ is equal to or a successor of $y$. (This is useful, e.g., for
shared derivate caching over the network).

Each pair $(h, [hs])$ tells Nix that it can realise any of the
fstate expressions referenced by the hashes in $hs$ to obtain a Nix
archive that, when unpacked, will produce a path with hash $h$.
The main purpose of this is for distributed caching of derivates.
One system can compute a derivate with hash $h$ and put it on a
website (as a Nix archive), for instance, and then another system
can register a substitute for that derivate. The substitute in
this case might be an fstate expression that fetches the Nix
archive.
