Lorenz attractor on Golem network

The Lorenz Equations are a system of three coupled, first-order, nonlinear differential equations which describe the trajectory of a particle through time. The system was originally derived by Lorenz as a model of atmospheric convection, but the deceptive simplicity of the equations have made them an often-used example in fields beyond atmospheric physics [1].
