reverse conditions and return to the start point. Such phase change behaviour can be modelled within non-linear dynamics and chaotic systems, see Strogatz for example [Strogatz 2000]. It remains the case that claims that equations (4.5h) and (4.6g) are equations of state, rather than simple accounting

Prior to either of these books, chapter eight of Keen gives a ve

Although dynamic systems can be very complex and are often mathematically insoluble, there are standard approaches to analysing these systems, and

Following Strogatz or Hirsch, the works by either Britton or van den Berg move into the mathematics of more complex biological systems, where the Lotka-Volterra forms

good brief introduction to chaotic systems, Ruhla also gives an excellent introduction with a little more maths. 'Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos' by Strogatz is an extraordinarily well written book, giving a full understanding of highly complex systems, including the mathematics, while using lots of clear
