INCOMMENSURABILITY 2)
← Back
P. BERGÉ and M. DUBOIS state: "A nonlinear dynamic system that oscillates on three incommensurable frequencies may become unstable and show a chaotic behavior" (1992, p.120).
The subject of incommensurability deserves wider research because it is a bridge between chaos and prime numbers. Intertwined periods each with a frequency based on a prime number could be the basic characteristic of chaos.
This could also prove an interesting return to PYTHAGORAS and FIBONACCI.
