     * Dynamical systems approaches to identify stable cell types (fixed points), boundaries of cell states (separatrices), etc
     * Calculate RNA acceleration (reveals early drivers), curvature (reveals master regulators of fate decision points), divergence (stability of cell states) and RNA Jacobian (cell-state dependent regulatory networks)
