predictably unpredictable
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000780359
Change is most sluggish at the extremes precisely because the derivative is zero there.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000175631
Chaos theory says that even a small change in initial conditions can lead to wildly unpredictable results. A butterfly flaps her wings now and a hurricane forms in the future.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001194700
Linear thinking typifies a highly developed industry. It starts to get these patterns built into it somehow. I'm not sure how that happens, but certainly you take a look at dinosaurs.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000687485
Nothing in this World is Static...Everything is Kinetic..
If there is no 'progression'...there is bound to be 'regression'...
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000947097
I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000920823
Considering the inconceivable complexity of processes even in a simple cell, it is little short of a miracle that the simplest possible model - namely, a linear equation between two variables - actually applies in quite a general number of cases.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000154458
Nothing about my life or my career has been linear.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000373475
...Gradation; gradation; and then a sudden leap...
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001015977
Chaos theory describes nonlinear systems. It's now become a very broad theory that's been used to study everything from the stock market to heart rhythms. A very fashionable theory. Very trendy to apply it to any complex system where there might be unpredictability.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000695053
The pattern appears so ethereally, that it is hard to remember that the shape is an attractor. It is not just any trajectory of a dynamical system. It is the trajectory toward which all other trajectories converge.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000025339
Given an approximate knowledge of a system's initial conditions and an understanding of natural law, one can calculate the approximate behavior of the system.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001490947
Deep in the chaotic regime, slight changes in structure almost always cause vast changes in behavior. Complex controllable behavior seems precluded.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000797679
Time is a series of fluctuating variables.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000957493
When, and only when, you clearly see the inner roots to an outer condition, can you change them and thus it.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001333172
The only thing constant is change
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001743980
strange attractor - do
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001463165
I don't believe that life is linear. I think of it as circles - concentric circles that connect.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000674032
That's calculus in a nutshell. It takes a problem that can't be done with regular math because things are constantly changing - the changing quantities show up on a graph as curves - it zooms in on the curve till it becomes straight, and then it finishes off the problem with regular math.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000833058
This circuit is interesting because it has inclines and declines. Not just up, but down as well.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000291270
It is well known that the central problem of the whole of modern mathematics is the study of transcendental functions defined by differential equations.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001744952
Curve: The loveliest distance between two points.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001652559
Equilibrations
If you walk back
and forth
through a puddle pretty
soon
you wet the whole
driveway but of
course dry
the puddle up.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001102063
The form follows the function.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001873984
Sensitive dependence on initial conditions; one word, one act, can change the world. Well they named it chaos theory.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001076644
I pull my T-shirt over my face and am about to plunge in when it occurs to me that I'm approaching this, as Kiernan would say, far too linearly.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001730895
The wave function of this situation is going to collapse quite soon.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001119335
Is your learning curve a horizontal line?
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000634289
When you have a large space to conquer, the curve is the natural solution.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000341844
The global climate is a complex interactive system, with all kinds of nonlinear feedback loops.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001274900
Aspiring to these wide generalizations, the analysis of quadratic functions soars to a pitch from whence it may look proudly down on the feeble and vain attempts of geometry proper to rise to its level or to emulate it in its flights.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001623515
Don't worry about where you are. Watch the first derivative.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001195443
I'm no mathematics whizz, but even I know that when the variables start piling up, it's time to ditch the equation and see if you can find a cheat sheet.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000419460
By definition, revolutions are not linear, one step at a time, event A leading to event B, and so on. Many causes operate on each other at once. Revolutions shift into place suddenly, like the pattern in a kaleidoscope. They do not so much proceed as crystallize.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000478378
It is interesting thus to follow the intellectual truths of analysis in the phenomena of nature. This correspondence, of which the system of the world will offer us numerous examples, makes one of the greatest charms attached to mathematical speculations.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001020326
The orthogonal features, when combined, can explode into complexity.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001845318
Laws which are consistent in theory often prove chaotic in practice.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000815171
for any non-biological system, the distribution of output follows a power law curve.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000297329
You cannot run a linear system on a finite planet indefinitely.

The Only Thing That Is Constant Is Change -
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000647209
The only constant is change.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000760080
The resulting, stable singularities now carry the name BKL in honor of Belinsky, Khalatnikov, and Lifshitz. A BKL singularity is chaotic. Highly chaotic. And lethal. Highly lethal.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001223312
Complex question can only be solved by patience.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000987836
A non-analogue image has an extremely compressed life. It starts as this and, in increasingly short time spans, becomes that.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001136683
Hey, chaotic trajectories are just as deterministic as any other kind.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000745624
It's an improvisation on a theme. You know where you want to go, but you don't know how to get there. It's not linear.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000934794
Time is only linear for engineers and referees.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001751719
Giving never moves in a straight line - it always moves in circles.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000958694
All of audio as we know it is an attempt to be more and more perfectly linear. Linearity means higher quality sound. Hypersonic sound is exactly the opposite: it's 100 percent based on non-linearity.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000743524
The alternation of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001231373
The path behind is twisted, the path ahead unknown.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001389133
Nature, when left to universal laws, tends to produce regularity out of chaos.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000069218
The idea that memory is linear is nonsense. What we have in our heads is a collection of frames. As to time itself-can it be linear when all these snatches of other presents exist at once in your mind? A very elusive and tricky concept, time.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001039895
We are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon which is largely indigenous to planet earth.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000476767
I regard it in fact as the great advantage of the mathematical technique that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic equations, the general character of a pattern even where we are ignorant of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001257709
But there was in the air that kind of distortion that bent you a little; it caused your usual self to grow slippery, to wander off and shop, to get blurry, bleed, bevel with possibility.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001809534
Algebraic to the limit!
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001203252
By adapting and adjusting to randomness, you shape but do not control your endpoint.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001108166
You know that the formula is askew when even if the formula is working, it's not; when even if everything's going right, something is wrong.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000450406
Analysis does not owe its really significant successes of the last century to any mysterious use of sqrt(-1), but to the quite natural circumstances that one has infinitely more freedom of mathematical movement if he lets quantities vary in a plane instead of only on a line.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000679403
Fuck that: take shagging n peeve oot ay the equation n yir left wi the sqare root ay swee fuck all!
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000215187
The great problem of today is, how to subject all physical phenomena to dynamical laws. With all the experimental devices, and all the mathematical appliances of this generation, the human mind has been baffled in its attempts to construct a universal science of physics.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000729572
The teacher manages to get along still with the cumbersome algebraic analysis, in spite of its difficulties and imperfections, and avoids the smooth infinitesimal calculus, although the eighteenth century shyness toward it had long lost all point.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000594948
It is possible to build a system that could assure you of increase on constant basis
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001666059
People interpret things in a linear form but science proves otherwise.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001866970
Between the two. Harmony emerges from integration. Chaos and rigidity arise when integration is blocked.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000759729
Small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos can shift the whole system to a higher order.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000011276
Whatsoever has exceeded its proper limit is in an unstable position.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000087039
Arc, amplitude, and curvature sustain a similar relation to each other as time, motion, and velocity, or as volume, mass, and density.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001402014
But we must not underestimate the potency of the mathematical process of abstraction. A surprising variety of things happen to have both magnitude and direction and to combine according to the parallelogram law; and many of them are not at all reminiscent of journeys.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001800485
Chaos is a friend of mine.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001558167
The algebraic sum of all the transformations occurring in a cyclical process can only be positive, or, as an extreme case, equal to nothing.
[Statement of the second law of thermodynamics, 1862]
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000330039
The way I think about things and experience things is not particularly linear, and it's not orderly, and it's not pyramidical, and there are a lot of loops.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001783416
Change occurs on a continuum and does not move in a straight line.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001653193
Let no one ignorant of Mathematics enter here.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001633945
the path of change is unpredictable.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000421601
Shrink, shrink variation, to reduce the loss.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001109540
One of the pleasures of looking at the world through mathematical eyes is that you can see certain patterns that would otherwise be hidden.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001320276
We may train ourselves to be adaptable as possible, to respond appropriately in each situation, but the ideal of controlling the outcome or steering events as they occur must be relinquished. Chaos rules it all.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001279116
Only change, not loss
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000878700

Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000742474
This was the tricky bit. The really tricky bit, trickiness cubed.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001422381
The most complex object in mathematics, the Mandelbrot Set ... is so complex as to be uncontrollable by mankind and describable as 'chaos'.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000029538
In economics, when you put together a highly elastic thing and a highly inelastic thing, you create extraordinary potential for turbulence, volatility, and for unstable prices.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001571420
Form follows function straight to hell.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000202139
If a self-organizing system becomes too static, it runs down; if it becomes too chaotic, it breaks apart.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000133552
Change moves incrementally from breath to breath and moment to moment, allowing for course-correction along the way.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000501712
Elliptical, adj.
The kiss I like the most is one of the slow ones. It's as much breath as touch, as much no as yes. You lean in from the side, and I have to turn a little to make it happen.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001014052
If a system is chaotic (most are), then it implies that however good the resolving power may be, the time over which the system is predictable is limited. Perfect predictability is not achievable, simply because we are limited in our resolving power.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000451990
Baseball players or cricketers do not need to be able to solve explicitly the non-linear differential equations which govern the flight of the ball. They just catch it.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001170785
In the abstract world of American economists, equations run both ways; they believe that by changing the sign of a variable from plus to minus or from minus to plus or the price and quantity of x or y, the direction of historical movement can be reversed.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001614431
I thin many people's deviant behavior starts with dreams because dreams are so non-linear ... as if there's an assumption that everything has to be linear or has to be plotted.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000307085
untrammelled flow
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001128870
As you deal with more and more complex systems, it becomes harder and harder to find deep and interesting properties.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001464770

Nonlinear Quotes : pic 001746286
From one perspective, we're in the early stage in artificial intelligence, but exponentials start out slowly, and then they take off.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000171148
Function influence but does not dictate form
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000994839
The world appears rectilinear, but is in fact curvilinear - a literal truth in physics, and a metaphorical one in metaphysics.
Nonlinear Quotes : pic 000923964
You seek too much information and not enough transformation.
