Chaos Iguana - Music from Maths (the logistic map in the chaotic regime)



This is what the logistic map sounds like in the chaotic regime.
Well, after you map the continuous outcomes to the chromatic scale.

A little ditty I dreamed up while I was Mr. Botak  (Guess I still am, Botak means bald in Bahasa Indonesia) for the occasion of the inauguration of a dynamical professor.

Also a tribute to a great monologue by Speed Levitch in Waking Life and a great poem by Lorca

"It looks random, but it is not"

(Edward Lorenz in the Essence of Chaos described deterministic chaos and similar phenomena as "Things that look random, but are not")

Once there was this Guy

I pause to catch my breath today and look back on things to come and can’t help thinking about Guy and what if, and why not, and what not.

It is always cruelty and injustice that make reality loose its randomness and I catch myself conspiring with my breath and about to infer there really might be a…


yeah… right… like that would ever happen.


I just miss the feeling of being the deer caught in the headlights… this Guy… he always accomplished exactly that, sending me back to my drawing board, skipping and whistling nursery rhymes. There’s no feeling just quite like it.


Those are the people you should listen to, the un-natural philosophers, the ones who make you feel un-comfortable about all the un-certainties you tricked your homunculus into believing they were un-real.


Not the scientist salesmen, who believe science is an industry that produces facts about reality.


Science is one of the arts that studies the structure of reality.
It should not produce anything other than more questions.
