Glossary

Initial Condition: The conditions posed by what value the variables take on at the start of time, when τ = 0.

Parameter: A quantity that defines certain characteristics of a system or function, influencing its behavior and outcomes. Unlike variables, which can change during the operation of a system, parameters remain constant within a specific context but can vary between different scenarios. In the system of equations, parameters include λ, ω, and AR .

State: The complete set of variables that describe the system at a given moment.

Superpose: The placement of one thing on or above another.

Trajectory: The path that a system’s state, in other words its variables, follows over time.
