Do We Need More Chaos Examples?

Do We Need More Chaos Examples?

A half century after the discovery of the Lorenz attractor, people are still finding and publishing new chaotic systems with special properties. Surely we are nearing the time when additional examples are unnecessary... or maybe not.
