There are a few other constructs, which somehow similar features. Sorry, but I'm not good enough in math to deal with them properly. I can program, but not that good, even if I have decades of experience with all kinds of computers. Therefore this topic is not really my taste. But I'm actually kind of an artist and think in pictures and try to interpret them in terms of physics (or the other way round and create pictures depicting physical equations). To deal with the underlying math is a little beyond my abilities.
