Chaos in a Box: Inverse Square and Fractal kind of Randomness

more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYBMrGM6IpM particle-particle simulator, it can simulate solar systems or any other orbital n-body situation where entities dance in the rhythm of inverse square law of attraction. it was a coincidence, as it usually is, that i observed this phenomenon of "regularities" within what is supposed to be chaotic system. funny enough i was looking for it, but found it in some place else... in some "phase frequency" of 'chaos of inverse square' and its "interference" with update frequency and their "mismatch", lets call it a "phase shift" ...and all that thanks to simple animation trick of spatial 2-D blending, ha! these patterns within chaotic systems are not uncommon nor unusual, but i do not think this was ever achieved in such way - when they emerge, these "geometric entities" exist as a three-dimensional shapes (force fields), able to translate, rotate, scale, adapt, stabilize to some strange "Matrix-like" flow of symbols, or even contract into only a few fixed points... they can disappear and reappear, harmonically pulsating while in the same time shape-shifting and stuff... this is not "normal", its kind of crazy, or so it would seem... anyway, defying laws of physics around entropy and second law of thermodynamics makes the name for all this more than appropriate - "Strange Attractors". enjoy!
