Chaos theory - Graphical represantation of a derivative calculation

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to represent on gh the Lorenz's attractor from the chaos theory as in this video :

I have the mathematical formula (see also in the video) :

dx/dt=a(y-x)

dy/dt=x(b-z)-y

dz/dt=xy-cz

I guess it's pretty simple but I just want to create the curve. Maybe it's just a question of variables. I tryed with different series and ranges but it was never the same as the "butterfly" shape I want.

Thanks.

BTW: I had a spiritual contact with the Greatest Ever (Mies VDR).

He said the usual thing:  Less is more.

Thus ... get this ultra paranoid thingy (you know what it is don't you?) and just make a freaky truss or a building or a stadium or something  out of it (don't forget to enable anti-gravity).

The good news are that this is easily doable (thus the C# acts as a "guide") with native GH components (but the next steps required are not).

May the Force (the pink option) be with you
