Vectorization

I generally think of systems in one of two ways: static, and dynamic.

Static systems are systems that operate on a fixed code/algorithm that does the same thing every single time. A program that types a certain quantified string of characters every time a person clicks a button is an example of this.

Dynamic systems are systems that operate on a dynamic code/algorithm that is hinged upon a set of variables that change over time or stimulation. A program that types a dynamic string that is pieced together according to what a person does before they click a certain button, is an example of this.

Vectors as I see them are objects that behave in a certain way according to a mathematical algorithm. If I drew a line on a image editing/creation program and then zoomed in, I would eventually find that the line was pixelized close up, this is because all I did was change the value of the individual pixels. If however I drew a line with a vector graphic creation program and then zoomed in, I would see that the line was smoothing itself out as I got farther down, this is because the line is generating itself as it goes.
