EIGEN VALUE

That value of a variable to which an operation defined in that variable converges (see convergence). Like equilibrium, eigen values are stable points in the domain of computation and a property of the operation. E.g., x' = 3D (x+1)/2 converges to an eigen value of 1 (see iteration). (Krippendorff)
