A free education lesson for the simple pro hunt loons who appear to
find working a chore.

Foxes


Although this predator can cause dissatisfaction by stealing

chickens
or rabbits from out of hunting areas, we have to avow that the fox

is
part of our fauna and plays an important role in nature. Foxes help
regulate the population of rabbits, birds and little rodents. The

fact
that the fox population has recovered over the last years, is good
news. They can only survive if there is enough food (i.e. small
animals) to eat. The more small animals there are, the more foxes
there will be. Nature regulates itself. If the foxes eat too many
newborn rabbits in spring, there will be less grown rabbits the
following year, which means less food for the foxes, so their number
will decrease. That is what we call natural balance.

Unfortunately, the equation which determines the fox population as a
function of time is what mathematicians call a chaotic equation. The

much
vaunted natural balance will not occur if there were only grass,

rabbita
and
foxs.

Try not to make your ignorance too obvious fritz, what comic did you
read that drivel from?


Read any introductory book on the maths of chaotic systems. It is one of
the first equations usually used to illustrate the major features of a
chaos.


I know well enough what it is, it's your interpretation that was
laughable and nonsensical.


You are a liar. I have studied the equations relating the fox population,
the rabbit population and the state of the grass and have solved them. I
have verified that they express the behaviour of a chaotic system, because
they are highly non-linear.
