the dynamical system into a regular stationary process produces such a sequence, then the dynamical system is called a Bernoulli system. 1.6.1 Deterministic Chaos Small differences in initial conditions (such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation) yield widely diverging outcomes for chaotic systems, rendering long-term prediction impossible in general. This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future behavior is fully determined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos. Chaotic behavior can be observed in many natural …show more content…

There is some controversy over the existence of chaotic dynamics in tectonic plates and in economics [6]. One of the most successful applications of chaos theory has been in ecology, where dynamical systems such as the Ricker model have been used to show how population growth under density dependence can lead to chaotic dynamics. Chaos theory is also currently being applied to medical studies of epilepsy, specifically to the prediction of seemingly random seizures by observing initial conditions. A related field of physics called quantum chaos theory investigates the relationship between chaos and quantum mechanics. The correspondence principle states that classical mechanics is a special case of quantum mechanics, the classical limit. If quantum mechanics does not demonstrate an exponential sensitivity to initial conditions, it is unclear how exponential sensitivity to initial conditions can arise in practice in classical chaos. Recently, another field, called relativistic chaos …show more content…

This research activity focuses on the developments of theoretical foundations for chaos synchronization based on the experimental studies of synchronization phenomenon in physical, neurobiological and other systems. 1.8.2 Synchronization of Chaotic systems Synchronization of chaotic oscillators is one of the most important achievements of nonlin- ear dynamics within the last few decades was the discovery of complex, chaotic motion in rather simple oscillators. Now this phenomenon is well studied and is a subject of under- graduate and high-school courses; nevertheless some introductory presentation is pertinent. The term “chaotic” means that the long term behavior of a dynamical system cannot be predicted even if there were no natural fluctuations of the systems parameters or influence of a noisy environment. Irregularity and unpredictability result from the internal deter- ministic dynamics of the system, however contradictory this may sound. If we describe the oscillation of dissipative, self-sustained chaotic systems in the phase space, then we find that it does not correspond to such simple geometrical objects like a limit cycle any more, but rather to complex structures that are called strange attractors [8,

Caldesmon 1 is a gene that is located on Chromosome 7: 134.74 – 134.97 Mb which encodes a calmodulin binding protein. (15) The products of CALD1 such as Calmodulin- and actin-binding proteins play an essential role in the regulation of smooth muscle and nonmuscle contraction. (16) CALD1 inhibits ATPase activity of myosin in smooth muscle like calponin. Caldesmon (CaD) is an actin-linked regulatory protein found in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells.

When discussing this section with Kate, she wanted to make it clear that the Center for Injury Research and Prevention is an institute of CHOP and is not an agency. Therefore, exact details and information regarding funding and allocation is not available. She decided to give her best estimates in regards of funding resources and the allocation of these funds. As shown on the first pie chart, CIRP receives 100% of its funding from the National Institute of Health (NIH). Individual studies conducted by the Injury Center are often funded by grants.

5. Public trials and executions serve as a deterance of deviant behaviors. These sanctions act as a way to set an example and for people to see what will happen to them if they do the same thing, These sanctions can also be seen as reinforcing boundaries. Although public executions and trials in “town square” are not as common in most countries today, the media is utilized to fulfil the same purpose. When there are high profile cases going on in the United States often tmes the full trial and sentancings are televised so that much of society can see what the repercussions are for defying a social norm.

When we hear the word chaos, our mind immediately deduces a place of total disorder and confusion. Most people like to have a sense of order and probability in their lives, and they are more likely to have lack of order no matter how hard they try. King James VI and I, and King Louis XIV had different outlooks about a king and how to rule their people. However, they both think that a king has absolute power and whatever they order should be accomplished. Accordingly, they both think that obeying and preforming the king's commands is a way of leading the citizens to order.

This endless circle observed by Ridley shows how free will is hard to be truly expressed as either we are being responsible or are expressing the determinisms of what we are responsible for. Ridley goes on to say how critics use Hume’s Fork to see it as a way to predict human behaviour and how once the mathematical factor be put in place. Ridley’s claim: “Human behaviour is unpredictable in the short term, but broadly predictable in the long term.” is supported by French mathematician and physicist, Pierre-Simon de LaPlace. LaPlace talks about the Chaos theory that rests on chance and luck in predictions, “Theory holds that even if you know all the determining factors in a system, you may not be able to predict the course it will take, because of the way different causes can interact with each other.”, which acts as a shield in defense of Ridley’s claim of human behaviour unpredictability inferring that even if all genetic determinisms and determinisms caused by society and culture be taken into play, human behaviour cannot be

In “Masters of Chaos” by Linda Robinson, Robinson conveys a cruel tone in the first chapter called “Leaving Home”, the cruel tone helps guide the reader to understand the depressing message of self sacrifice. Initially, the cruel tone is first realized when Robinson is talking about a Special Forces soldier, Randall Wurst. After describing the weaponry used by Wurst, Robinson makes a complete U-Turn and talks about Wurst’s future saying “This was likely to be the last war he would fight” (Robinson 3). All throughout history humans were always in war, and there has never been a time of peace; To say that it will be Wurst’s “last war”, implies that he will die in battle,fighting for his country. Oh and the fun does not end there, Robinson then

Meteorologist Edward Lorenz came up with a theory in 1963 that “A butterfly could flap its wings and set molecules of air in motion ... eventually capable of starting a hurricane on the other side of the planet” as part of the chaos effect, or more commonly referred to as the butterfly effect to explain the occurrence of serendipity or zemblanity (when a series of events occur that are either beneficial or unpleasant). Although this hypothesis was originally for predicting the weather, it evolved into a philosophical idea that one single event can snowball into a series of events that will impact their lives. People tend to believe that they are in control of their own actions, but never ponder how their choices at that moment will affect them

The Epic of Gilgamesh is the world’s first piece of legendary writing based on the epic quest of the “greatest king on earth and the strongest super-human that ever existed”, Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh was taught to have been born two-thirds god and one-third mortal and even though he was a strong and powerful king, he oppressed and treated his people harshly. Due to Gilgamesh’s actions, his people would pray to the god Anu, “creates a wild man”, who is Enkidu, who later on becomes Gilgamesh’s rival and devoted friend later on in his journey after having a fight of strength once he saw Gilgamesh trying to sleep with a newly wed women. Enkidu was brought out of his wildness after accepting one of the temple harlots, Shamhat who offered herself sexually to him so he would put an end to the trouble he has caused in which he submits to her. In doing so Enkidu instantly loses “his strength and wildness, but he gains understanding and knowledge” which plays an important key element during the Sumerian dynasty.

The message of the logical side of the argument is that the more you try to control something, the more you actually open yourself up to the effects of chaos. Since order is actually the problem, the chaos must be the solution. This is vaguely alluded to in the movie when the Tyrannosaurus wipes out the Raptors, unknowingly saving the humans. Although the point is not strongly stated, it is sort of there. The important concept at the moment is that as far as it goes, the objective storyline is fairly close to what it should be, which is true of most action oriented stories.

Simulation Theory Introduction Simulation Theory can explain some of the fundamental questions of life that have plagued humankind ever since we were able to use critical thinking. Simulation Theory has logic to back it up, yet like all “beginning-of-the-universe” theories, it has no concrete evidence to support it. Nick Bostrom, a philosophy professor from Oxford University, is one of the main proponents behind the simulation argument.
