I don't know much about chaos theory. An the article in Wikipedia about it wasn't
especially helpful. You have a knack of presenting these rather obtuse theories
in plain English that we unwashed can understand. So would appreciate any effort
you care to make to enlighten me and perhaps others. All I know is that there
seems to be some design in chaos that can be mathematically expressed in what
otherwise would be considered a holy mess.
