<sec id="sec-1"><label>1</label><title>Introduction</title>
<p>Dynamic systems, ubiquitous across fields like traffic management and population dynamics, exhibit distinct phases—stability, intensity, and chaos—driven by control parameters. While prior work extensively explored positive domains of k and ρ, the behavior of negative k remains largely uncharted. This study explores negative k as parallels to phenomena like negative quantum states. Building on <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref-1">[1–5]</xref> and recent advancements in perplexity AI <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref-6">[6]</xref>, we delve into the stability, traffic intensity, and chaotic responses of systems defined by:</p>
<p>kρ + σ − 1 k</p>
<p>σ = ( ) . (1)</p>
<p>By varying the values of k(−100 ≤ k &lt; 0) and ρ, we aim to reveal how these parameters influence system dynamics and transitions.</p>
<p>Let fin(t) and fout(t) serve as the temporal flow in Eqs. (1)-(5), and flow out, respectively. Therefore, by Eq. (2):</p>
<p>dx(t) = x.(t) = −fout(t) + fin(t), x(t)as the state variable. (2)</p>
<p>dt</p>
<p>fout(t) links server utilization, ρ(t), and the time-dependent mean service rate, μ(t) by Eq. (3):</p>
<p>fout(t) = μ(t)ρ(t). (3)</p>
<p>For an infinite queue waiting space, defined by Eq. (4):</p>
<p>fin(t) = Mean arrival rate = λ(t). (4)</p>
<p>Thus Eq. (2) rewrites to Eq. (5):</p>
<p>. λ(t)</p>
<p>x (t) = −μ(t)ρ(t) + λ(t) , 1 &gt; ρ(t) = μ(t) &gt; 0, (5)</p>
<p>with</p>
<p>ρ(t) = (1 − σ(t))x(t). (6)</p>
<p>The GI/M/1 PSSFA for the nonstationary Ek/M/1 queue reads as:</p>
<p>x.(t) = −μ(t)ρ(t) = (1 − σ(t))x(t) + λ(t) , σ = ( kρ ) , (7)</p>
<p>kρ+(1−σ)</p>
<p>where k defines a positive number of set of phases, i.e., k = 1,2,3,4, …</p>
<sec id="sec-2"><title>Problem definition</title>
<p>This study focuses on addressing the following phases:</p>
<p>I. Stability phase: explore how σ changes for ρ ∈ [0.1, 0.999] and k ∈ [−100, 1].</p>
<p>II. Traffic intensity phase: examine system behaviour when ρ = 1 and k ∈ [−100, 1].</p>
<p>III. Chaotic phase: investigate the system response for ρ &gt; 1 (e.g., 2, 3, 4) and k ∈ [-100, −1].</p>
<p>In other words, we are looking at Eq. (7) from a different end of the spectrum, by choosing k =</p>
<p>−1, −2, −3, −4, …</p>
<p>The current breakthrough uses computational tools to visualize these relationships, ensuring an accurate representation of transitions between phases for the unexplored phenomenal negative values of the number of sets of phases, namely, k. In mathematical terms, the current exposition marks a new phenomenal chapter of rethinking the totality of Pointwise Stationary Fluid Approximation (PSFFA) theory to shift the longstanding unresearched topic of PSFFA into a higher level of thinking between such unparallel scientific disciplines, within chaos, quantum mechanics, random walks, Brownian motion, and much more. Having seen the results of this research, it is anticipated that further investigations into more unexplored cases will expand on Ismail’s Contemporary PSFFA Theory and merge it with numerous multi-interdisciplinary spectrums of human knowledge.</p>

<sec id="sec-3"><label>2</label><title>Methodology</title>
<p>The methodology employs a computational framework implemented in Python to approximate σ iteratively and analyze its behavior under varying conditions. Below are the key steps:</p>
<p>Equation: the sigma (σ) function is computed iteratively for combinations of k and ρ:</p>
<p>kρ + σ − 1 k</p>
<p>σ(new) = ( ) . (8)</p>
<p>With σ(initial) =0.5, updated until σ(new)− σ(old)&lt; 10−6 or a maximum of 100 iterations. It is to be noted that, having transformed Eq. (7) into the phenomenally defined form Eq. (8), then Algorithm:</p>
<p>I. Error handling ensures robustness against division by zero, returning NaN for undefined cases.</p>
<p>II. Three distinct phases are explored:</p>
<p>− Stability phase: 0.1 ≤ &lt; 1 and ∈ <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref-1">[1, 100]</xref>.</p>
<p>− Traffic intensity phase: = 1 with varying .</p>
<p>− Chaotic phase: &gt; 1 and ∈ <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref-1">[1, 100]</xref>.</p>
<p>Visualization:</p>

<p>The pseudocode provided in the flowchart serves as a visual guide to implementing the iterative computational framework for analyzing σ in dynamic systems with negative k. It encapsulates the algorithm&apos;s step-by-step logic for exploring stability, traffic intensity, and chaotic phases. Below is a detailed explanation of the key components:</p>
<p>I. Initialization The algorithm begins by defining the equation:</p>
<p>kρ+σ−1</p>
<p>σ = ( ) .</p>
<p>The initial value of σ is set to 0.50 as a starting point for the iterative approximation.</p>
<p>II. Iterative process The algorithm repeatedly calculates a new value of σ based on the equation above.</p>
<p>Convergence is determined by checking if the absolute difference between the new σ and the previous σ falls below a specified tolerance (10−6).</p>
<p>III. Error handling Division by zero or undefined operations are managed by assigning Not a Number (NaN) to σ, ensuring the algorithm remains robust and does not crash.</p>
<p>IV. Phases: stability phase:</p>
<p>− Iterates over a range of values from 0.1 to 0.999 and k from −100 to −1.</p>
<p>− Generates a 3D plot to visualize σ as a function of k and ρ.</p>
<p>Traffic intensity phase:</p>
<p>− Fixes = 1 and varies k, producing a 2D plot of σ versus k.</p>
<p>Chaotic phase:</p>
<p>− Explores &gt; 1 with varying k, generating 3D visualizations of chaotic behaviour.</p>
<p>Significance: the pseudocode is instrumental in systematically exploring the behavior of σ under negative k, providing the foundation for the visualizations and insights presented in the results section. It emphasizes robustness and adaptability, accurately representing system dynamics across phases.</p>

<p>Comparison to Wei-Ping et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref-7">[7]</xref> Wei-Ping et al. provide an analytical model for nonstationary queues, focusing on steady-state approximations. Our work complements this by offering computational insights into transitions between stable and unstable phases.</p>
<p>Unlike Wei-Ping et al. <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref-7">[7]</xref>, which assumes stationary behavior, our approach identifies conditions where chaos emerges .</p>
<sec id="sec-6"><title>Insights</title>
<p>I. Critical transitions: the stability phase is highly sensitive to small changes in ρ, whereas the chaotic phase exhibits larger, unpredictable variations.</p>
<p>II. Algorithm robustness: the iterative approach converges reliably under most conditions, with exceptions managed through error handling.</p>
<p>The current study has some limitations, including the inability to visualize the unexplored dynamics at k=∞. In other words, what are the mathematical and physical interpretations at sufficiently large values of k? This would be a next-generation vision of delving into a different universe within the reach of infinity, if it exists as a number rather than a mathematical concept <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref-8">[8–10]</xref>, to showcase our inability as mathematicians to count beyond a certain limit at the far edge of the counting spectrum. It is an informed guess based on future research exploring ways to solve this complex open problem from mathematical and computational perspectives.</p>

<sec id="sec-7"><label>4</label><title>Conclusion</title>
<p>This research provides a computational framework for exploring stability and transition dynamics in dynamic systems. By iteratively approximating σ, we uncover critical insights into system behavior across stable, intense, and chaotic phases. The findings validate and extend the theoretical predictions by identifying new behaviours in chaotic systems. To accurately depict the transitions between these phases, the recent breakthrough uses computational techniques to visualize these connections for the undiscovered phenomenal negative values of the numbers of sets of phases, namely, k. In mathematical terms, the current explanation represents a new and amazing chapter in rethinking the entirety of PSFFA theory. It aims to elevate the long-unexplored subject of PSFFA to a higher level of thinking across disparate scientific disciplines, including chaos, quantum mechanics, random walks, Brownian motion, and more. It is expected that, after examining the findings of this study, more research will be conducted on more untested situations to develop Ismail&apos;s Contemporary PSFFA Theory and integrate it with a wide range of multidisciplinary fields of human knowledge. Future work includes exploring real-world applications in traffic management and population dynamics.</p>
