[MD] Heads or tails?

[ian glendinning]

Assuming you were talking chaotic patterns in repeated calculations ?

Interesting, it's an accurate metaphor in the sense that the rounding
limits - in a calculating machine - are properties of the machine that
manifest themselves in the patterns.

ie the patterns are part of physical laws, but they are inherent in
the process of interaction, calculation upon calculation, rather than
the static machine.

The attractors (patterns) exist but they exist in a "strange" dynamic space.

David's "Why" is of course a mixed question of explanation and/or purpose ... ?
