es the universal parameter- dependent coding language and capacity of nonlinear systems. In the early 1960’s, a group around Stan Ulam at Los Alamos (Cooper, 1987) used one of the early “high powered” computers, MANIAC Il, to iterate (letting the output of the action of a discrete time function serve as i

ike tents, sine functions and parabolas can be extracted from and represent the behavior of higher dimensional, nonlinear differential equations (see Devaney, 1989; Schuster, 1989 or Moon, 1992 for intuitive descriptions).

orbits recursively as the dynamics proceed; and (3) Indecomposability—the attractor is not separable into isolated regions and no points escape (see Devaney, 1989, for one of the clearest definitions). Of particular relevance to information encoding and transport by brain mechanisms, it is important to vi
