👉 In the context of mathematics, a "subducting" operation is an operation that involves changing the domain or range of a function. This can be seen in the context of differential equations where you are solving for solutions to functions of the form f(x) = g(y), and then applying a subduction operation to transform this solution into another function of the same form, which may involve changing the variable. For instance, if we have a system of two first-order differential equations: dx/dt
