Generator
attractor
A generator in the dynamics library, called 0 times across 0 essays. Below: what it draws at its defaults and at each mode an essay asks for, what it checks while drawing, and everywhere it is used.
attractor is one function. Everything below came out of it during this
build, at parameters taken from the essays rather than invented for this page — so a figure
here is the same figure a reader meets in an essay, and if the generator changes, this page
changes with it.
At its defaults
What it checks while it draws
Collected by running the family and listening to lib/verify.js, not written
here. The count is how many separate times this build put that claim to the test.
- above the critical parameter the trajectory visits both lobes ×1
- and settles on neither fixed point ×1
- the closed-form fixed points really are fixed ×1
- the geometric parameter is between 0.1 and 8 ×1
- the number of steps is a whole number between 500 and 40000 ×1
- the Prandtl parameter is between 0.1 and 40 ×1
- the Rayleigh parameter is between 0.1 and 100 ×1
- the step size is between 0.0005 and 0.05 ×1
- the trajectory stays in a bounded region ×1
