Coupled Map Lattice

Observe spatiotemporal chaos and pattern formation

Diffusive Coupling Visualization

Explore how diffusive coupling creates complex spatiotemporal patterns in coupled map lattices. Watch as chaos spreads and synchronizes across the network.

This heat map shows the spatiotemporal evolution of a coupled map lattice.

Bright colors indicate higher values, dark colors indicate lower values.

Pattern Formation

Observe how local interactions create global patterns through diffusive coupling. See chaos, spirals, and traveling waves emerge from simple rules.

  • • Turing patterns
  • • Spiral waves
  • • Chaotic synchronization
  • • Phase transitions

Coupling Strength

The diffusive coupling parameter controls how neighboring sites influence each other, determining the balance between local chaos and global order.

  • • Weak coupling: Independent chaos
  • • Moderate coupling: Pattern formation
  • • Strong coupling: Synchronization
  • • Critical transitions
