       | Very curious. Mr. Wolfram and his "rule 30" would probably like a
       | word. Or perhaps it's just integer overflow artifacts. Regardless
       | it's fascinating to see chaotic behavior emerge from something
       | that simple.

       | BTW, here's Minsky's own application, known as the "Minskytron":

       | 
       | (You may set 3-bit wide bit-shift parameters by the switches at
       | the bottom of the screen in groups of 3, one each for scaling x
       | and y parameters of each of the 3 generators/oscillators. There
       | are also a few presets in the menu at the top to select from.
       | Mind that patterns aren't exactly stable for the limited 18-bit
       | word precision of the PDP-1.)
       | 
       | For those interested in the workings, there's a schematic in the
       | description and a link to the annotated source code.

       | Could be nice to see something like that in music visualization.
       | Miss this feature in online music services..

       | This is the discrete time version of a Harmonic Oscillator, an
       | energy conserving differential equation. The introduction of
       | nonlinearity results in the complex behaviour.
