 eorgia Tech) as part of ITS Symposium: Chaos and Quantum Field Theory\n\n\
 nAbstract\nSuppose you find yourself face-to-face with Yang-Mills or\nNavi
 er-Stokes or a nonlinear PDE or a funky metamaterial or a\ncloudy day. And
  you ask yourself\, is this thing "turbulent"? What\ndoes that even mean?\
 n\nIf you were ever taught 'chaos'\, you must have learned about the\ncoin
  toss (Bernoulli map). I'll walk you through this basic example\nof determ
 inistic chaos\, than through the 'kicked rotor'\, a neat\nphysical system 
 that is  chaotic\, and then put infinity of\nthese together to explain wha
 t `chaos' or `turbulence' looks like\nin the spacetime.\n\nWhat emerges is
  a spacetime which is very much like a big spring\nmattress that obeys the
  familiar continuum versions of a harmonic\noscillator\, the Helmholtz and
  Poisson equations\, but instead of\nbeing "springy"\, this metamaterial h
 as an unstable rotor at every\nlattice site\, that gives\, rather than pus
 hes back. We call this\nsimplest of all chaotic field theories the `spatio
 temporal cat'.\nThat's `turbulence'. And if you don't know\, now you know.
 \n\nNo actual cats\, graduate or undergraduate\, have shown interest in\,\
 nor were harmed during this research.\n
