F. HEYLIGHEN states that, in classical representation mode, trajectories are closed “…in the sense that the system must follow a given trajectory: It cannot leave it and follow another trajectory or it cannot enter it from another trajectory, since the reversibility and predictability of classical evolution precludes any branching of trajectories. Mathematically, the trajectory may be called linearly closed (i.e., there is a complete, linear order relation between the points of the trajectory)” (1990a, p.435).
