Description: An interactive exhibit on homeostasis/autonomy/chaos centered around population dynamics. The phenomenon of rules giving rise to not only order but also disorder, and, beyond that, to previously unknown forms of order, is the terrain currently being explored as self-organization, non-linear dynamical systems, chaos, and fractals. Start with population size and stability (homeostatis), then fluctuation (autonomy), then chaos (deterministic unpredictability); then From Chaos back to Order (and Fractals); and beyond.
