As reg­u­lar read­ers here know, the main rea­son for devel­op­ing Min­sky was to make it pos­si­ble to build mon­e­tary mod­els of the econ­o­my. But it is also a pret­ty good tool for doing stan­dard sys­tem dynam­ics mod­el­ing too, and in these two videos I show a range of famous chaot­ic oscil­la­tors mod­eled in Min­sky:

Build­ing the Lorenz mod­el in Min­sky

Here are the source files if you’s like to run them your­self on your own, but first down­load the lat­est ver­sion of Min­sky from here PC (or Mac).

• The Lorenz mod­el of tur­bu­lent flu­id flow;
• The Van Der Pol mod­el of endoge­nous noise in an elec­tron­ic audio cir­suit
• The Dou­ble Pen­du­lum; and
• The Duff­ing mod­el of a spring sub­ject to exter­nal forces

The Min­sky source files are avail­able here (right click and choose “Save As”):

• Lorenz
• Van Der Pol
• Dou­ble Pen­du­lum
• Duff­ing
