According to Tim Palmer: &quot;Despite being known for his pioneering work on chaotic unpredictability, the key discovery at the core of meteorologist Ed Lorenz&#x27;s work is the link between space-time calculus and state-space fractal geometry. Indeed, properties of Lorenz&#x27;s fractal invariant set relate space-time calculus to deep areas of mathematics such as Gödel&#x27;s Incompleteness Theorem.&quot; &quot;Consider a point p in the three-dimensional Lorenz state space. Is there an algorithm for determining whether p…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1309.2396/">Paper and discussion history</a>. A mention is not an endorsement.</p>quant-ph
