Definition
非线性 is a technical term from mathematics and physics meaning 'nonlinear' — it describes systems where the output is not proportional to the input, so small changes can cause large, unpredictable effects. You'll encounter it in fields like engineering, economics, and data science, often modifying nouns like 系统 (system), 方程 (equation), or 关系 (relationship).
