Emerging Chaos

"It turns out that an eerie type of chaos can lurk just behind a facade of
order - and yet, deep inside the chaos lurks an even eerier type of order."
Douglas Hostadter
Chaos Theory
Chaos can be found in everything, from the swirling currents of a stream to the swinging of a pendulum, to the orbits of stars. In the past, science has failed to describe chaotic situations successfully. But in the past century, a new science has risen to face the challenge.

Chaos Theory is a new science that tries to describe chaotic phenomena.

Fractals
Fractals are extremely complex images that are created with very simple equations. They have been found to mimic some natural phenomena very well. One of their most famous qualities is their self-similarity, a quality which can be demonstrated by using different levels of magnification.
Strange Attractors
Strange Attractors are images that can model chaotic behavior.
Simulated Environments
Simulated Environments are computer programs that are capable of modeling real-world phenomena.
Game of Life
The Game of Life is possibly the most famous example of cellular automaton.
