The robustness of the controlled dynamics has been validated by 100 cases Monte Carlo analysis campaign: the containment of the dispersion for the controlled variables – say the composite roll, yaw and pitch angles – confirmed the wide validity and generality of the proposed control law.
Because China is a civil law country, often the generalities of the national law are fleshed out in various agencies' "interpretations".
Language-like behavior has been extended to music [ 6] and recently to genomes [ 7– 10], making the MA law a generality of both natural and human-made systems.
