For a circuit to be without stored energy, it must be a matrix of resistors. For such a three terminal device, you would be unable to...

Ah yes, you're right. Forget for a moment device's internal energy storage (or assume it operates in DC). Then characteristic curves...

Why ? Take for instance the case of BJT. It isn't linear, yet we can draw its characteristic curves. Note that by the term "equation"...

No. "The same Langevin worldline" means a worldline that's one of those at the radius you're working with.

Even without knowing how it works internally, we can always trace its characteristic curves. To do that define a common terminal (say...

You can't really describe a network without seeing what's inside of it. For a passive LTI network you should be able, with source...

Exactly. Suppose now to have a new type of electronic device with three terminals. Are we sure we can always describe it externally by...

I think the only thing you can say for the most general case is that the terminal currents all sum to zero (KCL) and that there are two...

Right, but it isn't my point. Consider a three terminal electronic device, whatever. What is the number of equations that the 3 current...
