Concept découvert par S. Smale et utilisé en 1971 par D. Ruelle et F. Takens pour montrer que chaos peut survenir dès qu’un système dynamique comporte au moins trois paramètres. Contrairement aux attracteurs des systèmes non turbulents, un attracteur étrange est infiniment sensible aux conditions initiales. Selon B. Mandelbrot (1983:197), dans la plupart des cas, un attracteur est étrange lorsqu’il est fractal, mais la réciproque n’est pas nécessairement vraie. L’étrange présuppose des propriétés topologiques inhabituelles auxquelles peuvent s’ajouter des propriétés fractales inhabituelles. 2, record 13, French, - attracteur%20%C3%A9trange

Tom's first form of catastrophe is simply called the "fold". Consider a balloon being blown up by someone at a party. The control variable in this change is air pressure, because reducing or increasing air pressure alters the balloon's dynamics. As the air pressure in the balloon increases, the system approaches the edge of the catastrophe fold. If pushed too far it falls over the fold - into oblivion. After passing through its "fold catastrophe", the balloon burst and the system no longer exists. 2, record 16, English, - catastrophe

Concept développé vers 1972 par le mathématicien René Thom dans sa théorie des catastrophes. Dans des domaines traditionnellement non formalisables tels la biologie ou la psychologie, on a cru possible de géométriser des situations de base en un certain nombre d’états internes, contrôlables par des paramètres «catastrophiques» et de se concentrer sur l'analyse des situations de bifurcations potentielles. L'on distingue six catastrophes élémentaires en dimension inférieure ou égale à 3 et sept autres en dimension inférieure ou égale à 4. Leurs noms soulignent la ressemblance avec des formes familières : le pli, la fronce, la queue d’aronde, la vague ou ombilic hyperbolique, le poil ou ombilic elliptique, le papillon et le champignon ou ombilic parabolique. 2, record 16, French, - catastrophe
