# Social Complexity 8- Attractors & Chaos

In this module we will be talking about attractors and the fundamental role they play within social dynamics, both with respect to self-organization and chaos, we firstly give an outline to the model of a state space, we talk about how systems typically only occupy a small subset of the overall space as they cycle through some set of states. We will go on to discuss bifurcations and see how the process of continuous doubling in bifurcations is a universal feature of systems as they move into a chaotic and complex regime consisting of multiple attractors and equilibria For full courses, transcriptions & downloads please see: http://www.complexityacademy.io
