Simple intro to dynamical systems and differential equations in Substance Designer

These are some quick sketches I've done in SD inspired by the simple and beautiful course on Dynamical Systems by David Feldman. This has been one of the simplest and most honest courses I ever watched: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF0b3ThojznQwpDEClMZmHssMsuPnQxZT&si=GyuUAsbzyadz4Bvh
Differential equations, dynamical systems, iterated functions and feedback loops are of particular interest to me as I regard them as robust information generation systems, capable of rich expressivity, yet incredibly compressed.
