G_3_09 — Chaos Theory, Fractals, and Nonlinear Dynamics

Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics and physics studying how deterministic systems can produce unpredictable behavior due to extreme sensitivity to initial conditions — a concept popularized as the "butterfly effect.

G_2_13 — Fractal Analysis of Ancient Structures and Settlements

Fractal analysis applies the mathematics of self-similar, scale-invariant geometry — developed by Benoît Mandelbrot (The Fractal Geometry of Nature, 1982) — to the study of ancient architectures, settlement patterns, and
