In the absence of external inputs, systems tend towards the lowest energy state, which is not necessarily stable, or may not be reached without becoming unstable first. In a closed system, the total energy is conserved. -- (c) John Stockton, near London. Web http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/ - FAQish topics, acronyms, and links. |
