    Glad I could be of use.

    The concept behind linear chaos is that the chaos is bound at one point. The theoretical cone of influence can only move in one direction and widen at a set rate. Kind of a mashup of chaos over time.

      Ah that’s really cool. So maybe similar to how turbulence can form at one point while the preceding flow remains laminar?

        Yeah, chaos crops up in linear systems sometimes in unexpected places.

        There are a couple of scientific papers on it, and at least one textbook. Even at that I’m not sure it’s a well-accepted theory, but the idea suits me.
