# Slot: sweep_seeding 


_How each sweep point's initial state is obtained. 'independent' (default) cold-starts every point from the model's initial values, so points are order-independent and may run in parallel (see parallel_mode). 'from_previous' seeds each point from the final state of the preceding point, so the trajectory follows the solution branch as the swept parameter changes quasi-statically; this forces sequential execution (a scan, not a vmap) and, with sweep_direction, exposes hysteresis / multistability. It is forward-integration branch following, not numerical continuation (cf. the Continuation class)._
