Chaos
Reading James Gleick's Chaos: Making a New Science over my morning coffee today, and was delighted with the three-variable Lorenz Attractor. Gleick snuck up on it from the historical perspective, which always makes it more fun to absorb a concept - for me - and there was a nice clear explanation of the mechanical model of the business, known as the Lorenzian Waterwheel Very cool. I feel driven to some chaos based, boyhood discussion between Avatlan and Rovin, maybe with Rovin on the "rah rah" side for the unpredictability, which Erien may have to damp before it becomes ... well, chaotic. :-)
