4. Chaotic CA

In the following image the second CA was planted at t = 20 and distance =18. The result is an immortal chaotic CA. The graph depicts its mass accumulation (production).
Please note:
- The chaotic CA generates non chaotic and immortal progeny (attractors).
- The CA group expands indefinitely.



The next image depicts the Lorenz attractor which does not generate non-chaotic processes. You may wonder, what is the difference between this and the previous chaotic phenomenon? Currently you lack means (tools) to distinguish between them. To me, the Lorenz attractor fails to capture (portray) chaotic phenomena of nature.
