bistability
paradigm of low-activity and high-activity states; no cells/systems in between
monostable systems are more common in biology. these are systems where the
system responds monotonically to a stimulus value or input: the more input, the
more output, with whatever curve (linear, s-curve, asymptotic)
monostable is "analog"/continuous; bistable is "digital"/discrete
enables persistence
