Merger

This should be merged with Chaos theory 91.152.48.20 19:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I've put the merge tag back onto the page. It seems to have been added and removed at odd intervals over the past 2 years, with no decisive action being taken either way. I propose removing this article and putting any useful information into Chaos theory - I'm not sure if anyone ever made any arguments against doing this? Djr32 (talk) 21:12, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I support the proposed merger. This article is a useless appendix. Chaos theory is where all the action is. --Rikat (talk) 20:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Support (TimothyRias (talk) 13:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC))

OK, done. Note that I didn't add any content from this page into Chaos theory as there didn't seem to be anything worth keeping in this article that was missing in that one. I've put the text from this article onto the talk page of the other article in case anyone disagrees. Djr32 (talk) 18:00, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
