Manneville: Universality

Zitat

“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

James: Process of Change

Zitat

„Personal histories are processes of change in time, and the change itself is one of the things immediately experienced. ‚Change‘ in this case means continuous as opposed to discontinuous transition. (p. 41) #James #change #process #transition
