So what’s it* all mean to me?

Gleick’s book is non-mathematical: I need to read two collections of papers (and acquire the mathematics to understand them) before I can see whether Deterministic Chaos (Tritton’s** perhaps more appropriate name for it) can further develop, and, especially, ‘fine-tune’ the predictive accuracy of, Circles Analysis.

But what is intriguing is how Deterministic Chaos by many of its most basic patterns *** helps to authenticate (in my view) a model, particularly relevant to collective and individual human experience, which was developed, in complete ignorance of it, from intuition, experience, and observation and with the help of very old symbol systems.**** This last feature suggests to me the possibility that the patterns uncovered by Chaotic Determinism may be present not only in the way we change but in the way we think – in our thinking itself – among other patterns and symbols. This should not be surprising to the faithful of Chaotic Determinism.
