    Complex Reactive Systems

    Some systems are simple, a tap for example, or a light switch. Some systems are complex, a washing machine or a car for example.
    Some systems are reactive, like a radio with Automatic Frequency Control, or Gain Control, to keep it on station and at the same volume.

    Some systems are Complex And Reactive, like life, like a rabbit for example. If it gets sick it will produce stuff to fight the sickness, if it needs food it will get hungry, etc.

    Listening that the flights from the US were arriving up to one hour early due to 200 mph tail winds in the jet stream made me think of the fuel that would be saved. This is clearly an example of the planet getting fed up with carbon emmissions and making sure the planes dont emit so much of them by speeding them along with high winds.
    Well done planet Earth for being the ultimate Complex Reactive System.

      Of course, flights to the US were an hour late. Think of the fuel wasted.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!
