logistic map · route to chaos

Controls

The logistic map xₙ₊₁ = r·xₙ(1−xₙ) doubles its period again and again as r grows, then dissolves into chaos near r ≈ 3.57 — with windows of order inside.

Governing equation

x_{n + 1} = r x_{n} (1 - x_{n}), r \in [2.5, 4]

Reading this result: Past r ≈ 3.57 the branches blur into chaos, yet pale vertical windows remain where periodic order suddenly returns.

About this simulation

The full Bifurcation Diagram tool models Conway's Game of Life with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.
