Limits to cycles and harmony in revolutions
Article Abstract:
Research and literary works that discuss the topic of cycles continue to get negative reactions despite the fact that they provide predictability on issues such as economics and politics. Majority of the negative reactions being received by works dwelling on the topic of cycles results from the boldness of the conclusions derived from vague data as monetary and financial indicators. The predeterminism that results from cycles' predictability also makes people believe that future depends in their hands.

Chaoslike states can be expected before and after logistic growth
Article Abstract:
Instabilities due to population growth is simulated by transforming the logistic growth curve into adiscrete form. This transformation method can explain the instabilities at the top and both ends of the curve of the logistic growth. Precursors, a steep initial rise and final instabilities are proven to be all interrelated through mathematical formulations. Chaotic oscillations can be predicted by the use of a well established S curve.
