Lorenz attractor — butterfly effect (3D)

About this app

The Lorenz equations integrated live as a glowing ribbon: two paths with an initial offset down to 10⁻⁹ drift apart and yet stay on the same double loop. ρ below 24.74 lets the path fall into a fixed point; distance and behaviour are shown. Exhibit-ready.
