A plot of the trajectory Lorenz system for values ρ=28, σ = 10, β = 8/3

-This is a Lorenz attractor, a geometrical representation of chaos. The strange origins of this shape can be derived from the convection currents of heated gases which follow oddly chaotic paths. If anyone would like to inform us of anything else about it (yes, it does look rather like a butterfly) or just shout out conspiracy theories about it, I would be happy to post your comments.
