Multistable Chaotic Dynamical Systems and Philosophy
نویسنده
چکیده
It is proposed that any dynamical system with coexisting chaotic attractors has an emergent property. This provides a nonreductive explanation of mental states and their high sensitivity to noise and initial conditions. If metaphysical terms result from the mental states and these are emergent properties of dynamical systems with coexisting attractors, such as the brain, it is suggested that this may provide a physical explanation of metaphysical concepts.

Effect of chaotic noise on multistable systems.
In a recent letter [Phys.Rev.Lett. 30, 3269 (1995)], we reported that a macroscopic chaotic determinism emerges in a multistable system: the unidirectional motion of a dissipative particle subject to an apparently symmetric chaotic noise occurs even if the particle is in a spatially symmetric potential. In this paper, we study the global dynamics of a dissipative particle by investigating the b...
متن کاملLI-YORKE CHAOTIC GENERALIZED SHIFT DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS
In this text we prove that in generalized shift dynamical system $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ for finite discrete $X$ with at least two elements, infinite countable set $Gamma$ and arbitrary map $varphi:GammatoGamma$, the following statements are equivalent: - the dynamical system $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ is Li-Yorke chaotic; - the dynamical system $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ has an scr...
متن کاملDynamical Behavior of a Rigid Body with One Fixed Point (Gyroscope). Basic Concepts and Results. Open Problems: a Review
The study of the dynamic behavior of a rigid body with one fixed point (gyroscope) has a long history. A number of famous mathematicians and mechanical engineers have devoted enormous time and effort to clarify the role of dynamic effects on its movement (behavior) – stable, periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. The main objectives of this review are: 1) to outline the characteristic features of...
متن کاملCOUNTEREXAMPLES IN CHAOTIC GENERALIZED SHIFTS
In the following text for arbitrary $X$ with at least two elements, nonempty countable set $Gamma$ we make a comparative study on the collection of generalized shift dynamical systems like $(X^Gamma,sigma_varphi)$ where $varphi:GammatoGamma$ is an arbitrary self-map. We pay attention to sub-systems and combinations of generalized shifts with counterexamples regarding Devaney, exact Dev...
متن کاملA numerical approach for variable-order fractional unified chaotic systems with time-delay
This paper proposes a new computational scheme for approximating variable-order fractional integral operators by means of finite element scheme. This strategy is extended to approximate the solution of a class of variable-order fractional nonlinear systems with time-delay. Numerical simulations are analyzed in the perspective of the mean absolute error and experimental convergence order. To ill...
