Blog #207: Strange Attractors — deterministic systems that never repeat.
The Lorenz attractor was discovered by accident. Lorenz entered 0.506 instead of 0.506127 in a weather simulation and got a completely different result. That 0.000127 difference changed science.
Covered: what attractors are, Lorenz + Rössler + Thomas + Halvorsen equations, log-density rendering code, Lyapunov exponents, attractor dimension via Kaplan-Yorke formula.
