Chaotic dynamics [ edit ] The map defined by x → 4 x (1 – x) and y → ( x + y) mod 1 displays sensitivity to initial x positions. Here, two series of x and y values diverge markedly over time from a tiny initial difference. Main article: Butterfly effect Lorenz equations used to generate plots for the y variable. The initial conditions for x and z were kept the same but those for y were changed between 1.001, 1.0001 and 1.00001. The values for ρ {\displaystyle \rho } , σ {\displaystyle \sigma } and β {\displaystyle \beta } were 45.92, 16 and 4 respectively. As can be seen from the graph, even the slightest difference in initial values causes significant changes after about 12 seconds of evolution in the three cases. This is an example of sensitive dependence on initial conditions. In more mathematical terms, the Lyapunov exponent measures the sensitivity to initial conditions, in the form of rate of exponential divergence from the perturbed initial conditions. [31] More specifically, given two starting trajectories in the phase space that are infinitesimally close, with initial separation δ Z 0 {\displaystyle \delta \mathbf {Z} _{0}} , the two trajectories end up diverging at a rate given by principles of the highest morality.

Chaos theory is a method of qualitative and quantitative analysis to investigate the behavior of dynamic systems that cannot be explained and predicted by single data relationships, but must be explained and predicted by whole, continuous data relationships. As suggested in Lorenz's book entitled The Essence of Chaos, published in 1993, [5] "sensitive dependence can serve as an acceptable definition of chaos". In the same book, Lorenz defined the butterfly effect as: "The phenomenon that a small alteration in the state of a dynamical system will cause subsequent states to differ greatly from the states that would have followed without the alteration." The above definition is consistent with the sensitive dependence of solutions on initial conditions (SDIC). An idealized skiing model was developed to illustrate the sensitivity of time-varying paths to initial positions. [5] A predictability horizon can be determined before the onset of SDIC (i.e., prior to significant separations of initial nearby trajectories). [29] Sensitivity to initial conditions is popularly known as the " butterfly effect", so-called because of the title of a paper given by Edward Lorenz in 1972 to the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C., entitled Predictability: Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil set off a Tornado in Texas?. [28] The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events that prevents the predictability of large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the overall system could have been vastly different.

Universal Co-Masonry, like all Freemasonry, is descended from the Mystery Schools of ancient times. It is the preserver and practitioner of the Small differences in initial conditions, such as those due to errors in measurements or due to rounding errors in numerical computation, can yield widely diverging outcomes for such dynamical systems, rendering long-term prediction of their behavior impossible in general. [7] This can happen even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future behavior follows a unique evolution [8] and is fully determined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. [9] In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable. [10] [11] This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos. The theory was summarized by Edward Lorenz as: [12]Although many books have been written on the theory of the masonic landmarks, few are available that provide a complete overview of the centuries of attempts at making any one set of landmarks universally apart of the Masonic Code. This book provides the unique perspective of the many attempts by Authors and Unique men in Masonry. Beginning with the basic concepts of what constitutes a Chaotic behavior exists in many natural systems, including fluid flow, heartbeat irregularities, weather, and climate. [13] [14] [8] It also occurs spontaneously in some systems with artificial components, such as road traffic. [2] This behavior can be studied through the analysis of a chaotic mathematical model, or through analytical techniques such as recurrence plots and Poincaré maps. Chaos theory has applications in a variety of disciplines, including meteorology, [8] anthropology, [15] sociology, environmental science, computer science, engineering, economics, ecology, and pandemic crisis management. [16] [17] The theory formed the basis for such fields of study as complex dynamical systems, edge of chaos theory, and self-assembly processes. For other uses, see Chaos theory (disambiguation).
