sooooo?

I believe in Hamilton, but I don't believe all systems are chaotic. just because you can create strange attractors, does not mean nature plays at them. If they existed in nature, then systems would not be analysable and they are. All has cause. All systems that have interaction of many variable would be judged chaotic. They don't appear to be. Randomness is not chaos. Seeming randomness may not be random. It may be since mathematical randomness cannot be created, then neither can nature do that. Can you actually flip a coin randomly? No, it is psuedo-random just as surely as making a group of numbers from a remainder.

Everyone thinks that things that just happen happen in a fashion that is unpredictable or imponderable. But if you knew all the variable and how they interacted in a fine enough fashion, then there is no randomness. This is the Laplacian conjecture, and many weather theorists have made similar projections.

As far as the theoretical statistical system goes, yes it is rather droll. I don't know if it has any hooks worth exploiting. It is a conjecture at this point. I would like to model it. It is like weather TA.
