Wow, cool! You can play with a sphere at Los Alamos Bradbury Museum that has an inner rotating sphere to generate similar turbulent patterns similar to Taylor Couette instabilities in rotating cylinders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNiocOsgxW8 I suspect Jupiter has more of a magnetic interaction but concepts I suspect are similar. Somewhat related is the unexpected reversibility of these systems as illustrated by these UNM professors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p08_KlTKP50 _______________________________________________________________________ stephen.gue...@simtable.com <mailto:stephen.gue...@simtable.com> CEO, Simtable http://www.simtable.com <http://www.simtable.com/> 1600 Lena St #D1, Santa Fe, NM 87505 office: (505)995-0206 mobile: (505)577-5828 twitter: @simtable On Mon, May 29, 2017 at 2:44 PM, Barry MacKichan <barry.mackic...@mackichan.com <mailto:barry.mackic...@mackichan.com> > wrote: I’m not sure this qualifies, but it’s too pretty to pass up.

Three most used non-biological examples I've seen are: * ferromagnetism (described with ising model) * Bénard cells (convection) * Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction Practically any physical system that transacts forms of energy can have critical regimes of phase transitions and would all qualify as complex systems. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
