Where threads abt chaos & complexity?

AI Thread Summary
There is currently no dedicated forum for chaos, self-organized complexity, and emergence due to their niche status within the scientific community. These fields are regarded with respect but lack sufficient attention at Physics Forums to justify a separate section. For discussions focused on chaos as a mathematical theory, the Differential Equations Forum is recommended. Applications of chaos and complexity in scientific contexts can be posted in relevant areas like Biology or Systems Engineering. Overall, while the reputation of these fields is solid, their mathematical deployment remains limited, and they are often discussed in broader contexts.

Hello, I don't see any specific forum about chaos, self-organised complexity, emergence etc

Are there any particular reasons why?
How is currently the status / reputation of these fields among scientists?
Time ago I read that they couldn't yet deploy any actual theorems in the mathematical sense, but just a few rough principles. How is the situation so far?

In which forum/s are such issues mostly posted?

It's a subject of good repute, but it doesn't get enough attention at Physics Forums to warrant its own Forum. If you're talking about chaos and complexity as a purely mathematical theory, then the Differential Equations Forum is probably the most appropriate place, as chaos is most closely associated with that. If you're talking about applying it to scientific problems, then you might put your topic in (for example) Biology (for evolution), Systems Engineering (for dynamic systems), etc...
