Slide: Salient features of the class of target systems | |
Assessment of problem:
Focus of interest is on: 1.
How
the system is organized 2.
How
the systemÕs organization
changes over time 3.
That
the change in organization of the system over time is subject to chance variation. | What do I mean by chance
variation? -
Repetition of the same procedure (Òrepeated trialsÓ)É -
Using the same
inputs each timeÉ -
Produces
a range of possibly distinct outputs each time. |
Behaves like a dynamical
system, whose: -
State is system organization -
Trajectory (time evolution) is a sequence of organizational changes over
discrete time -
Trajectory is subject to chance
variation | |
