👉 A coercive system is a type of mathematical model that describes how a system responds to external changes. In other words, it represents an environment where the system has some kind of control over its own behavior, such as temperature or flow rates. The key characteristic of a coercive system is that it exhibits behaviors that are resistant to changes in external conditions.
In mathematical terms, a coercive system is defined by three main characteristics:
1.
Control
: The system has some kind of internal control mechanism
