Bifurcation

collapse module

~bi-'' fur-'kAy-shun

Roughly speaking, a bifurcation is a qualitative change in an attractor's structure as a control parameter is smoothly varied. For example, a simple equilibrium, or fixed point attractor, might give way to a periodic oscillation as the stress on a system increases. Similarly, a periodic attractor might become unstable and be replaced by a chaotic attractor.

In Benard convection, to take a real world example, heat from the surface of the earth simply conducts its way to the top of the atmosphere until the rate of heat generation at the surface of the earth gets too high. At this point heat conduction breaks down and bodily motion of the air (wind!) sets in. The atmosphere develops pairs of convection cells, one rotating left and the other rotating right.

In a dripping faucet at low pressure, drops come off the faucet with equal timing between them. As the pressure is increased the drops begin to fall with two drops falling close together, then a longer wait, then two drops falling close together again. In this case, a simple periodic process has given way to a periodic process with twice the period, a process described as "period doubling". If the flow rate of water through the faucet is increased further, often an irregular dripping is found and the behavior can become chaotic.


Amidst all this chaos, is it any wonder that you found me? I think not, so... to answer the question of "Who I'd like to meet" I simply reply: YOU.

ramblings

floating on these figments lain
buoyant memories i do disdain
a vessel once but now remains
my only hope to reach the plains

the sun burns me every day
drifting among the sharks and rays
but woe these nights on they linger
when me and my raft become fodder
for the whales and ancient sea monsters
the only way i can escape this game of theirs
let go; decend deeper
it's nice and dark think i will try to sleep here

then i awake in some strange bed
my head is wrapped and tightly bandaged
belly sated and stories read
but the moment i can walk; thrown overboard again

the sun burns me every day
drifting among the sharks and rays
but woe these nights on they linger
when me and my raft become fodder
for the whales and ancient sea monsters
the only way i can escape this game of theirs
let go; decend deeper
it's nice and dark think i will try to sleep here

zzzzzzz

when will you stop your nightly visitations
inside this perfect dream we have found some interesting places
through all of the wild chaces when somehow nothing ever makes sense at all
even just to see you right beside me smiling in my nightmares
it's so strange i somehow feel complacent

but these dreams you find me in have to end tonight
i've been evicted from the home inside your wild eyes
your vision rips apart my stitches when i'm on the mend
uncontained by your embrace i start to sink and my heart leaks
from two tiny spots above my cheeks

you see when i wake in the morning and you are not there
i have no idea where to look or why something feels missing
just the memory of your soft lips and oh how good you were at kissing
the day seems like this bending inside would go on forever
but such vivid images of you leave me slightly sated

you were the price of me last night
it cost so much i almost died
throw me back into the sea i cry
catch and release i'd rather be

if i don't die inside this boat
your moat will be my grave indeed
but swim until i find your line
then when i do i'll take a bite

your net will be the second sign
this life i knew has begun to end
tears dont feel right when you're like me
slide to the surface as i breathe
slide to the surface as i breathe

you were the price of me last night
it cost so much i almost died
throw me back into the sea i cry
catch and release i'd rather be

ships sail the ceiling above my back
forgotten lovers they wish to see
into deaf ears they always play
to wisper words they wont hear back

but don't shed your scales my little one
our gills are tied to the sun
approaching now a giant wall
depths so huge oceans are swallowed
depths so huge oceans are swallowed

you were the price of me last night
it cost so much i almost died
throw me back into the sea i cry
catch and release i'd rather be

tears held back for far too long
become the springs of leaky mountain tops
and then rivers flowing the wrong way
inside my eyes an ocean grows
no dam could hold back this force
that grows and swells inside my soul
i'm pouring over these walls
i thought were steadfast
but these falls somehow feel good
as I run through the landscape
of forgotten emotion rushing faster now
how did this all begin
by now i've forgotten because the coast i do see
there's a whole new world for i do believe

I will not be the chimes underneath your window
I will not, I will not
I will not be those high times flying through your head now
I will not, I will not
I will not be the ear slowly falling into your goose down pillow
I will not, I will not
I will not touch your sand bleached hair that sweet shade of yellow
I will not, I will not
I will not be first in the morning turned towards you to say hello
I will not, I will not
I will not sound anything like your favorite song played on the cello
I will not, I will not
I will not catch your eye and turn your steadfast legs to jello
I will not, I will not
I will not stand high on these peaks and to them words of love fieri bellowed
I will not, I will not
I will not let that ruin me though because I am not that fellow
I will not, I will not
