Before clicking on the Green Flag, please read Notes and Credits. To duplicate the diagrams displayed in the book, use these values for R and the 'seed'. R = 0.8, seed = 0.4 [verify that all seeds iterate to 0] R = 2.5, seed = 0.1[verify that all seeds iterate to 0.6, the intersection of the parabola and the y = x line] R = 3.1, seed = 0.2 R =3.8, seed = 0.1 After 'seed' has been entered, Press Space to compute and display the web. Disregard the diagram in the upper left corner of page 276 as it is a linear equation that passes through the origin.
********************************************************************* This is the eighth project in the Attractors, Chaos, and Strange Attractors Studio. Visit the studio at https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/247932/ ********************************************************************* This project computes and displays the cobweb form of y = Rx(1 – x) as shown on page 276 of Chaos - Making a New Science by James Gleick. Note: in the literature, the equation takes two forms: y = Rx(1 – x) where R varies from 0 to 4 and y = 4Rx(1 – x) where R varies from 0 to 1.
