Hyster

Hyster, also known as hysteresis, refers to a system's tendency to retain a history of its past states, affecting how it responds to current changes. In simple terms, it means that the output or behavior of a material or device depends not only on its present conditions but also on previous conditions. For example, a magnetic material may remain magnetized even after an external magnetic field is removed, due to hysteresis. This phenomenon is common in various fields like physics, engineering, and economics, impacting how systems behave when they are subjected to changing forces or inputs over time.
