Fractal & Chaos
Strange Attractors
Two hundred thousand particles trace chaotic flows, the Lorenz butterfly, then the Aizawa, Thomas and Halvorsen attractors, flying from one shape to the next every 15 seconds.

- The idea
- Strange attractors are real chaos: the particles follow simple equations, never repeat, and yet always settle onto the same intricate shape. Color shows how fast each one moves.
- With music
- The bass swells the cloud gently: it breathes out, brightens and flows a little faster, never jumping; mids set the flow speed; vocals brighten the points. Tap Demo beat for our own beat, or Your music to let it hear the room.
- How it runs
- It’s the same live simulation as in the Everdust apps, running in your browser on WebGL 2. If your device struggles, it lowers the detail a step at a time to keep the motion smooth.
This is just a taste
Loved Strange Attractors? There are many more worlds in the app.
The Everdust app has every world at full detail, plus games made of physics, stories you step inside, Create (turn any photo into a world), and hand tracking on Vision Pro and Quest. Free during the beta.
