This is a model of a nonlinear feedback system that exhibits chaotic behavior. It is the well-known Lorenz attractor, and is given by a set of ordinary differential equations, <pre> dx1/dt = sigma*(x2-x1) dx2/dt = (lambda-x3)*x1 -x2 dx3/dt = x1*x2-b*x3 </pre> The plot created by the model shows the value of x2 vs. x1. <p> This class constructs a top-level Ptolemy model containing a CT director, which includes a sophisticated ODE numerical solver.
