Rejection letter to Belousov,
who was experimenting in Russia with mathematics applied to functions and behavior in the biological world.
He was Russian.
The message said it's quite simply impossible
Scientists didn't discover chaos until the 1960s (Lorenz? Think butterfly wings)
(Nature is not a clockworks...not by any means)
Unpredictable results can happen with the simplest equations that should absolutely be correct.
And so formulas are an act of faith
By 2020, scientists are telling us that they found chaos must be an accepted fact of life.
And I wonder if anyone suspects what might work best in nature's insititutionalized chaos?
Magic.
Proven tens of thousands of years ago... if not by dolphins or hawks earlier today.
Because how else do you interrupt a feedback loop?!?!
You know, the endless circle drawn by the ancients on cave and cliff walls?!?
Or the Mandelbrot set equation: zn+1 = zn2 + c
And don't get me started abut gravity's effect on time, and how it stops in a blackhole....and yet it rinses out.....not by gravity.
Or, we could take Alan Turring and give him this choice by the British government, after cracking the Nazi code machine: "Prison or injection of female hormones?"
You can't make this stuff up. Or...
The rules are simple.
Etc.
Self-similarity.
