I found the pictures. It's called a bifurcation diagram. It is associated with a Mr. May. I saw it on pg.78 of Chaos by Gleick.

Can anyone give me more feedback on this?
As an aside, I wonder about these bifurcation diagram pictures and the Bible's portrayal of the cosmos being formed out of chaos.
Do you see any application of these pictures to that?
p.s. I am not a mathematician/scientist,etc.
I just saw these pictures and wondered what's going on that you would have something, then it would [almost] dissapear, then it would return again, and perhaps if I could incorporate these diagrams(or perhaps the glycerine and ink disapearing/reapearing experiment) into the portrayal of forming a cosmos out of chaos in the first chapter of Genesis.
Or perhaps this is just a diagram and has only limited application?
