A variable is influenced by the previous variable acting on it. Using Robert May's popultion equation to demonstrate bifurcation and the onset of chaos as the parameter r increases.
[ Xnext = rX(1-X) ]
A plot is generated using Shaw's method of ploting values against previous values. This "creates" an extra variable and allows the bifurcation diagram to be viewed in 3 dimensions.
