The Evolution of a System
The masses and springs are these kind of dumb, inert particles that just have the ability to entangle and disentangle from each other. And then they form this kind of mesh of resinator of different random connections between balls and springs. And then you can take a piece of that and start shaking it. And you can shake it at apart frequency, for example. So if you didn't shake it, you would just get thermal equilibrium. Youd just get some random mess of balls hooking and unhooking from each other with springs. But once you start shaking part of the system and you choose, for example, a particular frequency, now you have energy flowing in from the forcing
