In a recent experimental study of coupled lattices of Rossler attractors, (jointly with Michael Nivala) we were surprised to discover global periodic behavior in large regimes of the parameter space. This emergent periodicity in a eld of chaos may be of signicance in the origin of life, and in many life processes.
In this article we will explore the emergence of global periodicity, and also the periodic windows in the bifurcation diagram of the Rossler attractor, which may be the local cause of this global behavior.
