Abstract
In the previous chapter we saw how to model simple deterministic and random processes that influence population dynamics. We emphasized the need to thoroughly test your models before you move on and expand them. This chapter provides a novel expansion to the traditional model of population dynamics. Other expansions follow in the next chapters. Each of those expansions is kept to a minimum complexity, yet the resulting dynamics can be rather surprising.
I know that history at all times draws strangest consequence from remotest cause. T.S. Eliot, Murder in the Cathedral, Part I, 1935.
