Iterated function

Dynamical Systems and Differential Equations

In mathematics, an iterated function is a function obtained by composing another function with itself two or more times, with the repeated application of the same function called iteration. In this process, the result of applying the function to some initial object is fed back into the function as its next input, and the process is repeated.

Is Kind Of Object

Functions, Concepts

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
