[section System]
[heading Description]
The System concept models the algorithmic implementation of the rhs. of the ODE ['x' = f(x,t)].
The only requirement for this concept is that it should be callable with a specific parameter syntax (see below).
A System is typically implemented as a function or a functor.
Systems fulfilling this concept are required by all Runge-Kutta steppers as well as the Bulirsch-Stoer steppers.
However, symplectic and implicit steppers work with other system concepts, see __symplectic_system and __implicit_system.

[[`Time`] [A type representing the time]]
[[`sys`] [An object of type `System`]]
[[`x`] [Object of type `State`]]
[[`dxdt`] [Object of type `Deriv`]]
[[`t`] [Object of type `Time`]]
