STRANGE ATTRACTOR

About the Lorenz Attractor

The Lorenz system is a set of differential equations first studied by Edward Lorenz in 1963, demonstrating the famous "butterfly effect" - how small changes in initial conditions lead to vastly different outcomes.

The Equations:

The Parameters:

• σ (sigma) - Prandtl number, relates to fluid viscosity
• ρ (rho) - Rayleigh number, relates to temperature difference
• β (beta) - Geometric factor of the system

The classic "butterfly" configuration uses σ=10, ρ=28, β=8/3 (≈2.67).
