A Crash Course On Chaos

In this section, we will examine chaotic beginnings, from chaos as it appears in myths to cutting edge science. We will then look at chaos theories and explore the concepts of iteration, bifurcation, sensitive dependence on initial conditions, and the ideas of strange attractors. Then we will seethe similarity between archetypes and strange attractors and finally see how the eternal return fits into the chaotic scheme of things. ∆RC[cg5]
