In general, a physical system is constituted of smaller structures called subsystems. As a consequence, a system is said to be modular. Such structures are interconnected by means of terminals. A system interacts with its environment via such terminals. We shall associate to each terminal a certain number of physical variables. Hence, each subsystem will display a terminal behavior, understood informally now as the evolution in time of all the physical signals or variables associated with each terminal.
