http://www-chaos.umd.edu/

Extractions: The idea that many simple nonlinear deterministic systems can behave in an apparently unpredictable and chaotic manner was first noticed by the great French mathematician . Other early pioneering work in the field of chaotic dynamics were found in the mathematical literature by such luminaries as Birkhoff Cartwright Littlewood Levinson ... Smale , and Kolmogorov and his students, among others. In spite of this, the importance of chaos was not fully appreciated until the widespread availability of digital computers for numerical simulations and the demonstration of chaos in various physical systems. This realization has broad implications for many fields of science, and it is only within the past decade or so that the field has undergone explosive growth. It is found that the ideas of chaos have been very fruitful in such diverse disciplines as biology, economics, chemistry, engineering, fluid mechanics, physics, just to name a few. Chaos is a multidisciplinary science, and this is reflected in the fact that the members of the group are affiliated with diverse departments and institutes: Since the mid-1970s, the Chaos Group at Maryland has done extensive research in various areas of chaotic dynamics ranging from the theory of

The Extended Mind
Robert K. Logan, Professor of Physics, argues that the origins of speech and the human mind emerged simultaneously as the bifurcation from percepts to concepts.
http://www.upscale.utoronto.ca/GeneralInterest/Logan/Extended/Extended.html

Extractions: Robert K. Logan Assoc. Prof. of Physics - University of Toronto The origins of speech and the human mind are shown to have emerged simultaneously as the bifurcation from percepts to concepts. Ideas from dynamic systems theory will be used to address a number of fascinating questions related to the origin of language and thought and the dynamic relationship that exists between them. This paper builds from the results of The Fifth Language (R. K. Logan, Toronto, Stoddart, 1995) which assumes that language is both a communication and an informatics tool to show that speech, writing, math science and computing form an evolutionary chain of languages. Adding to these notions ideas from chaos theory, informatics, linguistics, McLuhan's approach to media studies, cognitive science, evolutionary psychology, and archeology of early hominids are used to develop a dynamic systems model of the brain, the mind, language, and cognition which addresses the mind body problem. The origins of speech and the human mind are shown to have emerged simultaneously as the bifurcation from percepts to concepts and a response to the chaos associated with the information overload that resulted from the increased complexity in hominid life. As our ancestors developed toolmaking, controlled fire, lived in larger social groups and engaged in large scale co-ordinated hunting their minds could no longer cope with the richness of life solely on the basis of their perceptual sensorium and as a result a new level of order emerged in the form of conceptualization and speech. Speech arose primarily as a way to control information and then was used as a tool for communication contrary to popular beliefs and inherited wisdom. Thought is not silent speech but rather speech is vocalized thought.

Chaos And Art - Examine The Relationship Between Chaos And Art Via Jessie Gietl'
Explore the relationship between chaos theory and art via Jessie Gietl's original chaos art exhibit.
http://www.jessiegietl.com/index.html

Extractions: The Beauty of Chaos is in its deceptive appearance. Scientific chaos looks disorganized, and can even pass the statistical tests for randomness. Despite this, chaos has an underlying order that can even be predicted in the short term. Delve into some chaos theory while you're here. The Art of Chaos Chaos begins with logic, the formalization of a mathematical equation. Art, too, begins with logic. Formalize the rules of logic into a mathematical formula, plot the result, and you will have created a fractal. Add to this self-similar design the element of human consciousness, and you will have created once-only chaos art.

Did the Romans Know? In the words of Julius Caesar, In bello parvis momentis magni casus intercedunt. (In war great events are caused by small things.) This sounds uncannily like Lorenz' butterfly effect, which pop chaologists love to discuss in the first chapters of their books, because the concept is so easy to get their brains around. Lorenz, of course, was referring to weather, and Caesar, as always, was referring to war. But both nailed a key point in chaos theory: everything depends on that initial small event, or control parameter.

Chaos Theory - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
chaos theory. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The importance of chaos theory can be illustrated by the following observations
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

Extractions: In mathematics and physics chaos theory deals with the behaviour of certain nonlinear dynamical systems that (under certain conditions) exhibit the phenomenon known as chaos , most famously characterised by sensitivity to initial conditions (see butterfly effect ). Examples of such systems include the atmosphere , the solar system, plate tectonics turbulent fluids, economies, and population growth. Systems that exhibit mathematical chaos are deterministic and thus orderly in some sense; this technical use of the word chaos is at odds with common parlance, which suggests complete disorder. See the article on chaos for a discussion of the origin of the word in mythology, and other uses. When we say that chaos theory studies deterministic systems, it is necessary to mention a related field of physics called quantum chaos theory that studies non-deterministic systems following the laws of quantum mechanics Table of contents 1 Description of the theory 1.1 Chaotic motion

Extractions: Next: Completing the Circle Up: CONSERVING EQUATIONS Previous: Second-order diff The word chaos has both a general meaning and a scientific meaning. As is usually the case, the general meaning tends to convey little of the strict definition that scientists and mathematicians apply to the word. In the American Heritage Dictionary (Note: you can also access the Oxford English dictionary online if the "American Heritage Dictionary" above refuses you access), we find that chaos is described as noun. 1. A condition or place of total disorder or confusion: ``emotions in complete chaos.'' 2. Often [Chaos]. The disordered state of unformed matter and infinite space supposed by some religious cosmological views to have existed prior to the ordered universe. 3. (Obsolete). A vast abyss or chasm. What scientists and mathematicians mean by chaos is very much related to the spirit of the definitions given above. We state that systems are chaotic if they: are deterministic through description by mathematical rules.

BILLIARDS An Introduction to chaos theory. Play with it and learn about chaos theory. Determine which tables have regular motion and which have chaotic motion.
http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/chaos/doc.html

Extractions: Polygon Circle Ellipse Stadium This WEB page contains an interactive program that shows billiard motion in various shaped tables. Play with it and learn about chaos theory. Determine which tables have regular motion and which have chaotic motion. The study of billiards provides an easy to understand introduction to the concepts of chaotic dynamical systems. In a dynamical system, an object moves according to a rule. A familiar example from physics is the planets which move according to the rules of gravity. One can consider the weather a dynamical system; there the weather moves, or changes, according to the rules of meteorology. In mathematical billiards, we have one ball on a table that moves with constant speed forever. We pretend that there is no friction to slow the ball down. The rules of motion are as follows: a ball will move in a straight line until it hits the wall of the table. The ball will then bounce off the wall obeying the rule "angle of reflection equals angle of incidence". There are no pockets for the balls to bounce into. As the ball continues to bounce off the walls, it may move in a regular, predictable fashion, or it may move in an irregular, chaotic fashion. Mathematicians try to understand how the shape of the table effects whether the billiard motion will be chaotic or regular.

Extractions: Chaos Theory Chaos Theory is relatively new and sources of information abound on the Internet, especially for those who want to know more about fractals. But there is so much more than fractals to share with your students. I have included some of those sites I found most informative, but some are very technical. These may augment your knowledge without necessitating a course in Chaos at the local university. This site has been designed to offer educators a course in Chaos Theory and Fractal Geometry. The course encompasses the following topics This course offers text, relevant web sites, interactive Internet activities to reinforce concepts, and proposals for research topics and presentation modes for students. It is hoped that student projects may be presented for future students to use as models. The course is designed for high school students with a knowledge of Algebra. However, there are links to a number of sites that may be used for younger students. Teacher Support: links to web sites that cover advanced topics in Chaos Theory and Fractal Geometry . These sites are marked by an asterisk. There is very little offered in traditional texts on these subjects, so please feel free to use this course or portions to augment your own offerings to students.

Extractions: // should be one of: opinion, news, blogs, progressive, pass, home // var prevents rollover actions for the current page. var currentImg='home'; Mark LeVine is assistant professor of history at the University of California, Irvine. He is the co-editor, with Pilar Perez and Viggo Mortensen, of Twilight of Empire: Responses to Occupation (Perceval Press, 2003) and author of the forthcoming tentatively titled Why They Don't Hate Us: Islam and the World in the Age of Globalization (Oneworld Publications, 2004). It is perhaps hard for Americans to understand the U.S. occupation of Iraq in the context of globalization. But Iraq today is clearly the epicenter of that trend, and in this context, chaos is king. Here, military force was used to seize control of the world's most important commodity: oil. And that's only the beginning. Corporate prospectors allied with the United States search the country like safari hunters on elephants for any opportunity to profit from Iraq's miserythat's how conspicuous they are. Meanwhile, inside Baghdad's green zone, where the U.S. occupation headquarters are located, their innocuous-looking counterparts draft regulations for privatizing everything from health care to prisons. It is chaos that makes this whole system possible. Without the chaos, Iraqis would not allow the country to be sold off wholesale, or allow the U.S. troops to remain after the June 30th "transfer" of sovereignty.
Creativity, Healing, And Shamanism Workshop
A 4 day workshop that will teach the Shaman's art of entering sacred space within the framework of traditional shamanism, chaos theory and emerging science, and the World's Spiritual traditions.
http://www.vantagequest.org/Coyote_Oaks/shaman1.htm

Extractions: VQ News The Workshop Next workshop in fall 2003. Make plans to come for the journey! Becoming a shaman one treads a path of experiential learning. Creativity, Healing, and Shamanism is a 4 day workshop that will lead participants to three objectives on the shaman's trail: education, experience, and encounter. Intentionally primitive, attendees will camp on the earth, gather around the fire, and learn beneath the open sky. This workshop will teach and contrast the Shaman's art of entering sacred space within the framework of traditional shamanism, chaos theory and emerging views in science, and Spiritual traditions from around the world. This workshop does not advance a specific religious perspective but rather explores the common threads woven through many creeds. Attendees will learn by doing as they make their own drums, form a creative community, and engage the power of solitary contemplation and fasting. As a participant in this workshop, you will follow the stages of the creative process to explore a new paradigm for an ancient art, to experience a connection to your faith, nature's spirits, and to evoke the creativity and healing of your inner shaman.

http://www.yiin.ca/chaos/content.htm

Extractions: Part of the problem with explaining chaos theory is that the word "chaos" has different meanings. The normal everyday meaning of the word is "a condition or place of great disorder or confusion" , which sounds similar to the meaning of randomness: "having no specific pattern" . However, when we use the word chaos in a mathematical or scientific sense, it means something very different. I find that the most common mistake beginners make is associating the everyday meaning of chaos with the mathematical meaning. Most academic institutions will refer to chaos by a different name such as "non-linear dynamics" (don't bother trying to figure out why they would call it that if you don't already know). However, most people are more familiar with the term chaos math and I think it sounds more interesting so I will use it throughout this page. For starters, a chaotic system is not a random system . A chaotic system sometimes SEEMS random if you do not recognize that it is chaotic. For example, a roulette wheel is a chaotic system (trust me, it's not random, I'll explain why later). If you look at a fairly normal system such as a ball bouncing straight up and down against the ground, and you want to find out how high this ball will be after a certain amount of time, you would want to find out at what height the ball is dropped from, the strength of gravity, etc. and then you could easily plug these numbers into equations and then get the right answer. This is what happens in theory. In practice, since you will have to actually make measurements, what might happen is that your measurement might be a millimeter too high. If you did this, what would happen to the value that you would calculate with the slightly incorrect value? You would get an answer that was extremely close to what the ball actually did. A slight error in measurement is barely even noticeable.
