not in videogames and rendering; the goal is often make pretty 
colors; bugs are often features

In dynamic systems, as as the usual example of foxes and rabbits 
where a fox needs to eat 3 rabbit every year and every year 
rabbits double, therefor blah blah blah write out some math

given a vector field there are sources, sinks and black holes; 
theres some equaliumlam where foxes and rabbits are in balance 
and there will be an rough orbit around a "sink", theres also 
sources such as when rabbits are out of balence with foxes

then there are black holes of 0 where either int went extinct/0

nan is a black hole for basically every primitive function (by 
design) and therefor as I pull dynamic systems out of my ass and 
hope they make nice animations or systems or pretty colors, nan 
is basically *always* a black hole unless I specifically designed 
each and every pathway to avoid it in a way 0 or 1 never are, 0 
is only a black hole for multiplication and its an identity for 
adds, so its not even comparable
