Never ones to stop thinking about their work, (from left to right, by heads) Ned Allis, Lisa Vislocky, Flynn Heiss, Kevin Jones, Bruce Adcock, Jeffrey Dumont, and Cliff Reiter examine the intriguing blend of chaos and symmetry in nature. This exhibit contains examples of their J explorations in chaos and symmetry. While web pointers to this work are welcome, the authors expect other use to be with acknowledgement and permission. This work is described in various papers:
·N-Dimensional Chaotic Attractors with Crystallographic Symmetry
·Chaotic Attractors and Evolving Planar Symmetry
·Chaotic Attractors with Cyclic Symmetry Revisited
·Chaotic Attractors Near Forbidden Symmetry
·Chaotic Attractors with the Symmetry of the Dodecahedron
·Fast Fourier Transforms, Diffraction Patterns, and J
