RT @nick_routledge: @umairh Not exactly. "The cascade of accumulating differences that in chaos dynamical theory leads to a new catastrophe bifurcation" (William Irwin Thompson) can also be interpreted 'apocalyptically', that is, in a propitious, revelatory light transcending its narrow, literal meaning.
