First sentence: Nonlinearity is a general term, which does not really define the response of any specific physical phenomenon, in as much as it simply denies that the system is linear, that is to say that a functional relation exists between two physical quantities, that we may call input and output (I and O), given by O = KI, with k, a constant, independent of the input I.
