Thanks @KWS for the response. I know you typed a lot, so I appreciate the effort. I do understand the concept that your saying. My question meant to be a little more specific of how the computer or software program manages the calculation...I don't mean the exact program code, but the mathematics and equations that one could program into a computer to ascertain the theoretical saturation of each compartment as a function of depth and time. I think I may have found the answer in some of the links above, but I need to free up some spare time to 'dive' into it a bit deeper.
FWIW, I have no interest in deeper diving for myself, but I have become somewhat curious as I've learned more about deco theory and why dive computers spit out the numbers they do. I do have a physics and math background from another life so that adds to my reasons to learn more.
