+# MADDENING

+**Modular Acausal Dataflow Differential Equation Node Network** — a pure-JAX,
+autodifferentiable framework for composing physical models from typed nodes
+connected by unit-aware edges. MADDENING is the base framework on which
+[MIME](../mime/) and the [MICROROBOTICA](../) IDE are built.
