Just as beautiful but not (necessarily) a supertask
Mind 111 (442):281-288 (2002)
| Abstract | In this paper I will put forward a simple case of a dynamical system which can exhibit both the indeterminism linked to escape to infinity and that linked to self-excitation. The case depends neither on the gravitational interaction between particles nor on their mutual collisions, and thus reveals the existence of a new kind of constraint that Newton's laws lay on the predictive power of classical dynamics. | |||||||||
