{Chaotic Determinism (+ Extracts) [continued]}[3rd August 1988]

The implication,* so far, is that the Circles analysis of human affairs, particularly, may be more acceptable than it would have been even a few years ago, to the extent that it can be linked with the new mathematics of chaos. It seems clear that crucial features of the construction of the ‘chaotic’ Circle from a single point can be so linked; it remains to be seen whether the operation of the Circles in this analysis can also be linked in this way (the Lorenzian Waterwheel and strange attractor are hopeful signs). BUT I need to learn still [sic] more maths, both conventional and new, to make sense of this in mathematical terms.
