N2 - We present a model for an arbitrary number of populations that compete for an arbitrary number of resources, whose consumption is monitored by the model. We show that the state of mutual coexistence of all populations is always stable, in contrast to the classical model, in which sufficiently strong competition promotes extinction of all but one population. We suggest that the distinction in outcome reflects that the classical model is not actually one of competition, but of antagonism, aggression and warfare.
