🦋 Lorenz Attractor 2D Projection (2D)

2D Canvas projection of the Lorenz strange attractor. Real RK4 integration of the chaotic ODE system, live sigma/rho/beta sliders, xy/xz/yz projection planes, and a twin-trajectory divergence demo of the butterfly effect.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D Canvas companion to the 3D strange-attractor simulation: watch the classic Lorenz butterfly trace itself in a live X-Y, X-Z, or Y-Z plane using real 4th-order Runge-Kutta integration. Adjust the sigma, rho, and beta parameters, and toggle a second, nearly identical trajectory to see chaotic divergence, the butterfly effect, unfold in real time.
