does Tidal allow encapsulation in the form of 'function definitions'? Is it Haskell or does it just look like Haskell, e.g. can you partially apply fns the same way as in Haskell?

can we make a 'musical keyboard' using live programming to make a musical system?
some keys would be notes, perhaps arranged in a convenient multi 'string' manner like a guitar rather than a linear manner like a piano, and others would do things like start/stop recording of notes, and then select prior recordings and cause them to repeat, and reassign keys, execute programs, and switch modes (e.g. a keyboard and also a sequencer).

i just read http://www.aleph.se/Nada/Game/Countdown/alien.html
can we generalize the musical keyboard to a system to create nonlinear dynamical system simulations? Could such a thing be used as a method for interacting with external nonlinear dynamical systems such as the stock market in a practical and wholistic manner, e.g. to allow us to successfully interact with such external systems without having well-founded reductionist understanding of them first?

would have to have something like Tidal (see above), as well as a 'reverse tidal' for recognition of external patterns
(combine with FRP and Glitch?)
a tool like Tidal would have to be augmented with common nonlinear dynamics simulation elements, e.g. positive and negative feedback with stable and unstable attractors, specify linear forces by a matrix, and also relevant control theory elements, e.g. PID controller, etc
also grammars, and meta-grammars for system specification language, e.g. lagramge
just as MIDI has banks of MIDI instruments, this tool might have a 'systems bank' with widely known systems (e.g. the logistic equation) that can be composed. This would include various famous chaotic systems, not just non-chaotic ones, and the system should make it easy to compose chaotic systems into useful things.
