dx/dt = o * (y - x) dy/dt = x * (p - z) - y dz/dt = x * y - b * zThese equations describe how, at each point in 'time', x, y and z affect the direction of the attractor. Once we move a bit in that direction, x, y and z change, and so does the direction. In order to simulate this without solving the differential equation, we iterate over small enough timesteps.
To pick a specific set of Lorenz equations, we'll set the euqations constants to:
o = 10 p = 28 b = 8/3Showing the 3D attractor on a 2D image will not let us see its 3D complexity, but an animation of it turning around the y axis can let us see just that:
