Symmetry breaking transitions on curved surfaces are found in a wide range of dissipative systems, ranging from asymmetric cell divisions to structure formation in thin films. (meetings.aps.org)
In the case of chemical dissipative structures, there is a time - parameter which is characteristic of the structure as a whole19 (roughly, the time it takes for the system to traverse the limit cycle). (religion-online.org)
The emergence of dissipative structures such as the AO is the relevant metric in both the analysis and forecasting (within its temporal limits) dynamical systems and not proportionate forcing response arguments used by primitive tribes eg Ruzmaiken. (judithcurry.com)
