Of course, feedback does not require simultaneity...nor does it always imply an acoustic system (though I'm guessing that's what you're referring to, Derek). One nice thing about those digital goblins is that they can feed-back *information* about the music. More interestingly, they can feed-back *permuted* information about the music, kind of like a delay line with ideas of its own.

I can't really say from a supra-atomic standpoint I could agree with you, but I'd settle for the speed of light, or even the remotely distant figure of the response time of an op-amp. Which is quite a bit faster than your average blocksize or even a single discrete sample--assuming that a complex digital system like Pd could react effectively at single-sample speed.
Really though, must everything really be so complicated Mathieu? Not everything can be so easily described with mathematics. I also like to sip single malt whiskey during the last evening hours of a summer headed towards autumn...
Sorry to stir up the digital goblins, folks. I merely wanted to share my (unsatisfactory) experiences with feedback scenarios in Pd. Your Mileage May Vary.
