Revision 2. </p> <p>There are 3 chaotic functions to graph as examples.</p> <p>Graph of function (0) is a curve. Graph of function (1) is a group of lines. (Both are Xn+1 = f(Xn) type functions.)</p> <p>Graph of function (2) on the other hand is a plane. (It is Xn+1 = f(Xn, Xn-1) type function.)</p> <p>These mean there is a simple relationship between the previous and next X values in (0) and (1). (Next X value can always be predicted from the previous X value by using the graph of the function w/o knowing the function itself.) But (2) does not have a discernible relationship. (No prediction possible!) So (2) is clearly more chaotic than others. (I think it could be used as a Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG).)</p>
