Lorenz Attractor

This simulation integrates the classical Lorenz system with a fixed-step fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, then projects the evolving 3D trajectory onto the screen. A nearby shadow trajectory reveals sensitive dependence on initial conditions: tiny perturbations stay microscopic at first, then separate into visibly different paths while both remain confined to the same butterfly-shaped attractor.
