The diffusion model uses Gaussian noise as a mechanic to introduce perturbation from training data. This noise is not predicated on any understanding of the physical properties of a system, but instead is a mathematical process. For this reason, we call the perturbation 'unstructured'. The amount of noise can also be tuned: if less perturbation is desired, less noise is introduced. If greater perturbation is required, more noise is introduced. + +**Outcome 3:** Generate time and frequency domain responses based on training data of example systems. The diffusion model is like any other machine learning model: it requires training data. For this diffusion model, we will create training data of physically realizable plants. \ No newline at end of file
