title: Uncertain destination dynamics.
abstract: Certain dynamical systems exhibit a sensitivity to initial conditions in which the asymptotic state is selected from an infinite number of possible states. The phase space of such systems is foliated with "attractors," each of which is associated with a particular set of initial conditions. The associated uncertain destination dynamics can be analyzed by an appropriate reduction of the full system to a subsystem that explicitly yields the dynamics.
