Bidimensional display of the integration of the Lorenz attractor system for 448500 different initial conditions [Visualisation bidimensionnelle de l'intégration du système de l'attracteur de Lorenz pour 448500 conditions initiales différentes ]

Bidimensional display of the integration of the Lorenz attractor system for 448500 different initial conditions [Visualisation bidimensionnelle de l'intégration du système de l'attracteur de Lorenz pour 448500 conditions initiales différentes].




Each {X,Y} point of this picture encodes a particular Lorenz attractor (there are 448500 different ones). Each one of them is caracterized with its initial conditions chosen as follows:
                    x  = X scaled within [-30.0,+30.0],
                     0
                    y  = Y scaled within [-30.0,+30.0],
                     0
                    z  = GREY(X,Y) within [0.0,+60.0],
                     0
where 'GREY' denotes a function of the grey level of the current point. This picture Bidimensional display of the integration of the Lorenz attractor system for 448500 different initial conditions displays the 448500 integrations during 255 time steps; the initial conditions can be viewed as the lower left picture and are computed as a gaussian field. For each frame of this animation, the results are encoded as follows:
                    X = x  (unchanged),
                         0
                    Y = y  (unchanged),
                         0
                    GREY(X,Y) = z
a black and white scale is used -white points are the closest ones when black ones are the farthest-. Finally, this picture Tridimensional display of the integration of the Lorenz attractor system for 448500 different initial conditions (bird's-eye view) and this one Tridimensional display of the integration of the Lorenz attractor system for 448500 different initial conditions exhibit a tridimensional rendering.

Instead of using regular initial conditions, any field can be tried. For example a fractal field was chosen and the results are bidimensionally Bidimensional display of the integration of the Lorenz attractor system for 448500 different initial conditions and tridimensionally Tridimensional display of the integration of the Lorenz attractor system for 448500 different initial conditions displayed respectively during 127 time steps (the lower left picture exhibits the initial conditions).
