    For a more rigorous example, consider the dynamical system shown in Figure 2, described by the following equation: ˙ = + where r is once again the control parameter (labeled ε in Figure 2). The system's fixed points are represented by where the phase portrait curve crosses the x-axis.

    Multi-agent system – A multi-agent system is a computerized system composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents within an environment. Evolutionary art uses techniques and methods from artificial life to create new forms of art. Evolutionary music uses similar techniques, but applied to music instead of visual art.

    Systems can be isolated, closed, or open. A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole. [1] A system, surrounded and influenced by its environment, is described by its boundaries, structure and purpose and is expressed in its functioning.
