Having non-linear equations share properties is useful, but when it comes to measurements and calculations, every non-linear system is a thing in itself. Comprehension of one of them gave absolutely nothing for penetration into the other. The Lorenz attractor revealed the stability and hidden structure of a system that, otherwise, seemed completely unstructured. But how could this double helix help specialists study objects that have nothing to do with it? No one knew.
The discoverers of new forms compromised the rigor of the scientific style. Ruelle wrote: “I have not mentioned the aesthetic impact of strange attractors. These tangles of curves and swarms of dots sometimes conjure up magnificent fireworks or mysterious galaxies, sometimes they resemble a bizarre riot of plants. Before us is a vast realm of undiscovered forms and unknown perfection.
