Good post on attractors, one of the major concepts in chaos theory. "An attractor is a piece of structure of many systems that appears when you view the systems evolution over time. Speaking informally, an attractor is sort of like a black hole in the phase space: it's a region of the space where if you get sucked into it, you'll never leave."
