So the thing is; if we know all the possible behavioural modes of our
system we could pre compute which are applicable to the system at hand.

All we need is a semi formal definition of our model and a friendly
mathematician who can do the bifurcation analysis to find the modal
boundaries and their parameters.

I suspect there is a limited number of modes and parameters and if we
implement all we just need to select the right ones, this could save a
lot of runtime computation.

But yes, we don't need to start with that, we can do the brute force
thing for a while.
