  2. Ong's Hat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ong's_Hat

    Ong's Hat is one of the earliest Internet-based secret history conspiracy theories. It was created as a piece of collaborative fiction by four core individuals, dating back to the 1980s, although the membership propagating the tale changed over time. Ong's Hat is often cited as the first ARG on many lists of alternate reality games.

  3. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    Chaos theory (or chaology [1]) is an interdisciplinary area of scientific study and branch of mathematics. It focuses on underlying patterns and deterministic laws of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. These were once thought to have completely random states of disorder and irregularities. [2]

  4. Edward Norton Lorenz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Norton_Lorenz

    Lorenz was born in 1917 in West Hartford, Connecticut. [5] He acquired an early love of science from both sides of his family. His father, Edward Henry Lorenz (1882-1956), majored in mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his maternal grandfather, Lewis M. Norton, developed the first course in chemical engineering at MIT in 1888.

  5. Chaotic cryptology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaotic_cryptology

    Chaotic cryptology is the application of mathematical chaos theory to the practice of cryptography, the study or techniques used to privately and securely transmit information with the presence of a third-party or adversary. Since first being investigated by Robert Matthews in 1989, [1] the use of chaos in cryptography has attracted much ...

  6. Control of chaos - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_of_chaos

    In lab experiments that study chaos theory, approaches designed to control chaos are based on certain observed system behaviors. Any chaotic attractor contains an infinite number of unstable, periodic orbits. Chaotic dynamics, then, consists of a motion where the system state moves in the neighborhood of one of these orbits for a while, then ...

    First experimental confirmation of self-excited chaos from Chua's circuit was reported in 1985 at the Electronics Research Lab at U.C. Berkeley. [13] First confirmation of hidden chaos was reported in 2022 at the Theoretical Nonlinear Dynamics Lab at the Institute of Radio-engineering and Electronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

  9. Robert Shaw (physicist) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Shaw_(physicist)

    Shaw was one of the pioneers of chaos theory and his work at University of California, Santa Cruz on the subject was among the first research into the relationship between predictable motion and chaos in a landmark PhD thesis. [3] He was part of the Dynamical Systems Collective with J. Doyne Farmer, Norman Packard, and James Crutchfield. The ...
