Age has nothing to do with it, the math doesn't change. As or AKNOS, their is actually a lot of controversy over that book and the claims Wolfram makes. Kyle Maxwell ky...@xwell.org wrote: Fairly old, but Chaos by James Gleick was a huge influence on me as a young man and has some

Sorry that this question is only tangentially related to cryptography. Then again, a lot of the stuff here is only tangentially related. Could anybody here link me to some good resources on chaos theory? I'm not looking for anything specifically about certain chaotic systems (like the Lorentz
