Exactly! John.    No matter how good the match between the equations in
modeling reality, these  equations are really static models of dynamic
happenings.  The fluctuation of variable values in the real world will cause
perturbations in the EDDIE point.  Some would be relative minor and others
not so.  There are two different approaches (that occur to me at the moment)
that can be taken to stabilize (or control) the situation -  one is to
somehow adjust that timing, as you mention (my favorite), the other is to
stabilize the values of some of the more significant variables.  Either will
work (perhaps a combination of both would be best) , but which is easiest,
cheapest, and best varies with the variable (I like that "varies with the
variable"-  somewhat profound don't you think {:>)). Sorry, havn't had my
second cup of coffee, yet.

I can see now, I'm going to have to terminate this discussion - or You will
divulge my entire presentation and the money on the slides will be  down the
drain, I won't get any free beer, and, Heck, even all those tomatoes would
go to waste.

Actually, it really great to see the similarity of your train of thought
with mine.  It's either a case of two minds thinking alike - or two nut
cases with the same delusions {:>)
