One of the ways of talking about such transitions focuses upon a cascade of bifurcations, period doubling, splittings into two branches. Another analysis focuses upon the breakup of a torus which is replaced with a strange attractor. Another analysis focuses upon chaotic spikes in a frequency spectrum. The mathematics is abstruse to most people, but the language is suggestive of how communities through a series of bifurcations (splittings into pairs of antagonistic groups) degenerate into chaos, through personal and communal disintegration. Might the science of chaos offer any insights into the dynamics of of bifurcating conflicts within groups which lead to personal and communal chaos? (c) 2005 by Paul A.
