Abstract

We present a crocheted model of an intriguing two-dimensional surface - known as the Lorenz manifold - which illustrates chaotic dynamics in the well-known Lorenz system. The crochet instructions are the result of specialized computer software developed by us to compute so-called stable and unstable manifolds. The implicitly defined Lorenz manifold is not only key to understanding chaotic dynamics, but also emerges as an inherently artistic object
