	Chaos model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, the Chaos model is a structure of software development that extends the spiral model and waterfall model.
		The chaos model was defined by (the pseudonymous) L.B.S. Raccoon.
		The chaos model notes that the phases of the life cycle apply to all levels of projects, from the whole project to individual lines of code.

	Spiral model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The spiral model is a software development process combining elements of both design and prototyping-in-stages, in an effort to combine advantages of top-down and bottom-up concepts.
		This model was not the first model to discuss iterative development, but it was the first model to explain why the iteration matters.
		For a typical shrink-wrap application, the spiral model might mean that you have a rough-cut of user elements (without the pretty graphics) as an operable application, add features in phases, and, at some point, add the final graphics.

	Chaos on Europa
		This model is motivated chiefly by interest in pursuing an explanation of the nature of chaos areas in terms of what they simply appear to be: pools which disrupted older terrain and allowed mobility of rafts of older terrain for some time before refreezing occurred, leaving a matrix of frozen slush.
		That model may prove to be viable once it is fully developed, but it has yet to explain the uniformity along great lengths of ridges, the lack of pre-existing terrain on ridge flanks, or the paucity of possible central ridges of upwelled material.
		Chaos areas seem to get smaller and sparcer the farther north they are in the northern hemisphere in the regions where we have adequate resolution for this mapping.

		The waterfall model is a software development model first proposed in 1970 by W.

		A chaos model of the process of the olfactory system was extrapolated to a theory for the whole brain process.
		Exploring this phenomenon, Freeman (1991) constructed a mathematical model based upon Chaos Theory and was able to replicate the EEG activity of the olfactory system with a computer model.
		With this chaos model, one can assert that the in utero condition in the child is the first learning state and that the birth experience gives rise to the second learning state better known as the conscious experience.

	David Christini's Research
		Abstract Here we show that chaos control techniques can be used to stabilize unstable periodic orbits in a non-chaotic system provided additive noise can be utilized: (1) to determine the local dynamics of a chosen orbit, and (2) to move the system's trajectory into the neighborhood of the orbit so that control can be initiated.
		Here chaos control, periodic pacing and anticontrol were applied to a noise-driven, non-chaotic neuronal model, and results similar to those recently reported for apparently chaotic, in vitro neuronal networks were obtained.
		Model residual variance was used as the primary inter-model comparison criterion, with significance evaluated by a c2 distributed statistic.

		The behaviour of this model approximates that of a population where new individuals arrive all at once at a certain time of year, and most deaths also occur within a short period each year.
		Some browsers may attempt to display the model file, rather than open it in Simile; in this case, use the browser back button to return to this page, and use the context menu (invoked by right-clicking on the link) to save the target file to disk.
		The model includes a very small random variation in the initial value of level, but the values for three consecutive runs, all with gain set to 2.7, diverge after about 60 time units.

	THE APPLICATION OF DETERMINISTIC CHAOS TO ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES
		A detailed theory of deterministic chaos is developed for atmospheric turbulence and applied to mathematically model the formation of global weather systems, climatological weather cycles and the electrical, dynamical and microphysical characteristics of clouds.
		The physics of the self-similar fractal cloud growth structures associated with deterministic chaos in the atmosphere is not yet identified.
		The period doubling route to chaos growth process therefore generates a scale invariant eddy continuum where energy flow structure is in the form of nested logarithmic spiral vortex roll circulations, a complete circulation consisting of the outward and inherent compensating inward flow.

		This makes him emphasize three ideas: chaos as the base of what goes on in the world, God’s role in chaos, and the language of persons as that to use for God.
		He usually finds models for God’s interaction with the world hollow: ‘talk of top-down causation (however phrased) is no more than the utterance of slogans whose conceivable validity is completely unclear’ (Polkinghorne 1991: 234).
