Summary: This article initiates a general theory of systems described by multiple models. A complete characterization of the stability of such systems is given; it is based on the concept of stable motion between two states. The approach taken is based on a reformulation of the theory of input-output systems initiated independently by Sandberg and Zames. Our formulation is done in such a way that 1) it permits dealing with local models of a physical system, i.e., mathematical models are only assumed to be valid in a neighborhood on an operating condition and 2) the main stability results of the classical theory remain essentially unchanged.
