“In particular, fundamental problems related to universality could be tackled, both for confine systems where the theory of dynamical systems is relevant (chaos and transition scenarios, e.g., the subharmonic cascade) and for extended systems where statistical physics is an appealing framework (Ginzburg–Landau formalism and nonlinear pattern selection, space–time intermittency and directed percolation).” (p. 61) #Manneville #universality #system #chaos #transition #StatisticalPhysics #percolation

Grimmett: Percolation
Zitat
“Suppose we immerse a large porous stone in a bucket of water. What is the probability that the centre of the stone is wetted? In formulating a simple stochastic model for such a situation, Broadbent and Hammersley (1957) gave birth to the ‚percolation model‘.” (p. 1) #Grimmett #Broadbent #Hammersley #percolation

“Archaeology has always been a force in the percolation of times by remixing the past in the present. Such polychronic simultaneities generate a time of successions.” (p. 155) #Olsen #Shanks #Webmoor #Witmore #Archaeology #percolation #time
Hammersley: Percolation and Diffusion Processes
Zitat
“A percolation process is the spread of a fluid through a medium under the influence of a random mechanism associated with the medium. This contrasts with a diffusion process, where the random mechanism is associated with the fluid.” (p. 790) #Hammersley #percolation #diffusion #process
