Ancient and Current Chaos Theories

چکیده
Chaos theories developed in the last three decades have made very important contributions to our understanding of dynamical systems and natural phenomena. The meaning of chaos in the current theories and in the past is somewhat different from each other. In this work, the properties of dynamical systems and the evolution of chaotic systems were discussed in terms of the views of ancient philosophers. The meaning of chaos in Anaximenes’ philosophy and its role in the Ancient natural philosophy has been discussed in relation to other natural philosophers such as of Anaximander, Parmenides, Heraclitus, Empedocles, Leucippus (i.e. atomists) and Aristotle. In addition, the fundamental concepts of statistical mechanics and the current chaos theories were discussed in relation to the views in Ancient natural philosophy. The roots of the scientific concepts such as randomness, autocatalysis, nonlinear growth, information, pattern, etc. in the Ancient natural philosophy were investigated.

The present article deals with coherence and incoherence among the theories of the order of effusion, physics and ancient astronomy. There is no coherence between these fields in the view of Plotinus who is the innovator of the theory of effusion, while there is a coherence and correlation among these orders in Farabichr('39')s philosophy. In this regard Ibn Sina, Ikhwan al-Safa , Shaykh al-...
متن کاملAncient asexual scandals.
Asexual organisms that are descended from ancient asexual lineages defy current thinking on the evolution of sexual reproduction; theoreticians have been anxious to explain away their existence. However, a number of groups of organisms, from ferns to rotifers, have been suggested to be anciently asexual, and favourable evidence is being accumulated. Furthermore, new techniques for assessing cla...
متن کاملChaotic Monopole Interactions and Vacuum Disorder
Deterministic chaos in the time evolution of classical non-Abelian (and hence nonlinear) gauge theories has been investigated for about thirty years1. This ongoing endeavour has several motivations. On the more conceptual side, the chaotic behavior of gauge theories reveals typical signatures of quantum chaos, visible e.g. in the distribution of nearest-neighbor level spacings of lattice Dirac ...

The social sciences have traditionally been quite week in terms of formulating scientific cause-and-effect theories that would be useful for making predictions.
