Dynamics
The mathematical approach to change over time. Most dynamical systems are nonlinear and generally unsolvable, and though deterministic are often unpredictable.

Grid map
Pendulum phase space
Boundaries
Trajectories of any dynamical equation may stay bounded or else diverge towards infinity. The borders between bounded and unbounded trajectories can take on spectacular fractal geometries.

Fractal Geometry
Physics
As for any natural science, an attempt to explain observations and predict future ones using hypothetical statements called theories. Unlike the case for axiomatic mathematics, such theories are never proven because some future observation may be more accurately accounted for by a different theory. As many different theories can accurately describe or predict any given set of observations, it is customary to favor the simplest as a result of Occam’s razor.

\[P_{12} \neq P_1 + P_2 \\ P_{12} = P_1 + P_2 + 2\sqrt{P_1P_2}cos \delta\]Biology
The study of life, observations of which display many of the features of nonlinear mathematical systems: an attractive state resistant to perturbation, lack of exact repeats, and simple instructions giving rise to intricate shapes and movements.

Homeostasis
Deep Learning
Machine learning with layered representations. Originally inspired by efforts to model the animalian nervous system, much work today is of somewhat dubious biological relevance but is extraordinarily potent for a wide range of applications. For some of these pages and more as academic papers, see here.
