Measuring the Trajectories of a Circadian Clock

Abstract

If, in context of real laboratory experiments, we wish to seriously contemplate models with more than one degree of freedom, then we must find two or more independent empirical measures corresponding to the movements of the system in its state space. We must seek to plot a trajectory in a space of two or more measureable quantities. If we can find a way to do this, then we can distinguish the quickly attracting cycle of Chapter 6 from the orbitally stable kinetic schemes of Chapters 4 and 5.

First get your facts; and then you can distort them at your leisure.
