The decoding process in Section 8 does not call the syntax tables in Section 5.
For example, in the AV1 specification, we have:
The input to this process is a sequence of open bitstream units (OBUs).
The output from this process is a sequence of decoded frames.
For each OBU in turn the syntax elements are extracted as specified in section 5.3.
The syntax tables include function calls indicating when the remaining decode processes are triggered.
