 * @class AlgebraicRule
 * @sbmlbrief{core} An SBML <em>algebraic rule</em> representing <em>0 = f(<b>W</b>)</em>.
 *
 * The rule type AlgebraicRule is derived from the parent class Rule.  It
 * is used to express equations that are neither assignments of model
 * variables nor rates of change.  AlgebraicRule does not add any
 * attributes to the basic Rule; its role is simply to distinguish this
 * case from the other cases.
 *
 * In the context of a simulation, algebraic rules are in effect at all
 * times, <em>t</em> \f$\geq\f$ <em>0</em>.  For purposes of evaluating
 * expressions that involve the delay "csymbol" (see the SBML
 * specification), algebraic rules are considered to apply also at
 * <em>t</em> \f$\leq\f$ <em>0</em>.  Please consult the relevant SBML
 * specification for additional information about the semantics of
 * assignments, rules, and entity values for simulation time <em>t</em>
 * \f$\leq\f$ <em>0</em>.
 *
 * An SBML model must not be overdetermined.  The ability to define
 * arbitrary algebraic expressions in an SBML model introduces the
 * possibility that a model is mathematically overdetermined by the overall
 * system of equations constructed from its rules, reactions and events.
 * Therefore, if an algebraic rule is introduced in a model, for at least
 * one of the entities referenced in the rule's "math" element the value of
 * that entity must not be completely determined by other constructs in the
 * model.  This means that at least this entity must not have the attribute
 * "constant"=@c true and there must also not be a rate rule or assignment
 * rule for it.  Furthermore, if the entity is a Species object, its value
 * must not be determined by reactions, which means that it must either
 * have the attribute "boundaryCondition"=@c true or else not be involved
 * in any reaction at all.  These restrictions are explained in more detail
 * in the SBML specification documents.
 *
 * In SBML Levels 2 and&nbsp;3, Reaction object identifiers can be
 * referenced in the "math" expression of an algebraic rule, but reaction
 * rates can never be <em>determined</em> by algebraic rules.  This is true
 * even when a reaction does not contain a KineticLaw
 * @if conly structure @else object@endif.  (In such cases of missing
 * kinetic law definitions, the model is valid but incomplete; the rates of
 * reactions lacking kinetic laws are simply undefined, and not determined by
 * the algebraic rule.)
