#579 — Catastrophe Theory

I have just begun reading the book
An introduction to catastrophe theory
by P.T. Saunders
Cambridge University Press, 1980.

Catastrophe theory studies discontinuities,
singularities, and nonlinearity, most notably
in theoretical biology.

I am hoping that it might help me explain
my instigation of sudden evolution to
atheists, by my flapping of my higher
dimensional butterfly wings, if I am ever
successful. I am reporting on progress
on alt.religion.druid .

Do you know of any advances in catastrophe
theory/chaos theory since 1980 that I should
know about, and if so can you point to any
references available online?

You'll want to check out Rene' Thom's idea about
the axes of graphs being like the jaws of predators.
