- The hexstat probability generator as a chaotic system
- How do the Lorenz Equations relate to this?
- The Lorenz attractor is like the average curve you see in the hexstat probability generator.
- Global Climate Change and the butterfly effect: an analogy
- A little more about the logistic map:
- A really neat illustration of what happens as we change a
- Our authors use this in their discussion of the Verhulst Model for Population growth, including carrying capacity.
- This leads us back to fractals, as well as to the new

- Cobwebbing - another example (#5 and 6), using a "tent function"
- A really neat illustration of what happens as we change a
