His latest project, the "Woolly Predictor," was a room-sized tangle of copper coils and fiber optics designed to find the hidden patterns in chaos. The Wild and Woolly World of Nonlinear Dynamics...
In the world of nonlinear dynamics, a system’s output isn't proportional to its input. A small nudge can lead to a catastrophe. Elias had nudged the very fabric of local reality. "Shut it down
The lab fell silent. Elias sat on the floor, breathing hard, surrounded by scattered marbles and bread crusts. He didn’t just believe that a flap of
