Genuary24 - Chaotic systems

alpha (around x): 0.0 alpha (around x): 0.0
beta (around y): 0.0 beta (around y): 0.0
gamma (around z): 0.0 gamma (around z): 0.0
distance: 4.0 distance: 4.0

Sounds so easy but what can you expect of a chaotic system? What is it? A quick seach leads eg. to a definition like this:

A chaotic system is a deterministic system that is difficult to predict. A deterministic system is defined as one whose state at one time completely determines its state for all future times.

If so, I was there at day #2 of Genuary, already, when I first played with pseudo random number generators, wasn’t I? So although the output I came up with for prompt number #8 is hard to predict, it is mathematically determined. I like the illusion of a plain 3D grid when zooming into this chaos.
