Interaction between deterministic nonlinearity and a random process, as illustrated by a snapshot of the time-dependent attractor of the Lorenz (1963) convection model perturbed by multiplicative noise. This snapshot shows a much more complex structure than the well-known time-independent strange attractor (“butterfly”) of the deterministic model.
