Definitionv1DF-448
Multi-loop system
a complex system involving several interacting feedback loops that operate simultaneously, share variables, compete for dominance, and generate behavior that no individual loop can explain
Why This Is a Definition
This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'multi-loop system' by identifying its key characteristics: multiple simultaneous loops, interaction through shared variables, competition for dominance, and emergent behavior that cannot be explained by individual loops. It distinguishes this from single-loop systems and provides the foundational concept for the entire lesson.
