    Synchronicity From Synchronized Chaos

    The synchronization of loosely coupled chaotic oscillators, a phenomenon investigated intensively for the last two decades, may realize the philosophical notion of synchronicity. Effectively unpredictable chaotic systems, coupled through only a few variables, commonly exhibit a predictable relationship that can be highly intermittent. We argue that the phenomenon closely resembles the notion of meaningful synchronicity put forward by Jung and Pauli if one identifies "meaningfulness" with internal synchronization, since the latter seems necessary for synchronizability with an external system. Jungian synchronization of mind and matter is realized if mind is analogized to a computer model, synchronizing with a sporadically observed system as in meteorological data assimilation. Internal synchronization provides a recipe for combining different models of the same objective process, a configuration that may also describe the functioning of conscious brains. In contrast to Pauli's view, recent developments suggest a materialist picture of semi-autonomous mind, existing alongside the observed world, with both exhibiting a synchronistic order. Basic physical synchronicity is manifest in the non-local quantum connections implied by Bell's theorem. The quantum world resides on a generalized synchronization "manifold", a view that provides a bridge between nonlocal realist interpretations and local realist interpretations that constrain observer choice .Comment: 1) clarification regarding the connection with philosophical synchronicity in Section 2 and in the concluding section 2) reference to Maldacena-Susskind "ER=EPR" relation in discussion of role of wormholes in entanglement and nonlocality 3) length reduction and stylistic changes throughou

    Lorenz System Parameter Determination and Application to Break the Security of Two-channel Chaotic Cryptosystems

    Get PDF
    This paper describes how to determine the parameter values of the chaotic Lorenz system used in a two-channel cryptosystem. The geometrical properties of the Lorenz system are used firstly to reduce the parameter search space, then the parameters are exactly determined, directly from the ciphertext, through the minimization of the average jamming noise power created by the encryption process.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures Preprint submitted to IEEE T.

    Some new less conservative criteria for impulsive synchronization of a hyperchaotic Lorenz system based on small impulsive signals

    Get PDF
    In this Letter the issue of impulsive Synchronization of a hyperchaotic Lorenz system is developed. We propose an impulsive synchronization scheme of the hyperchaotic Lorenz system including chaotic systems. Some new and sufficient conditions on varying impulsive distances are established in order to guarantee the synchronizability of the systems using the synchronization method. In particular, some simple conditions are derived for synchronizing the systems by equal impulsive distances. The boundaries of the stable regions are also estimated. Simulation results show the proposed synchronization method to be effective. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

    Robust output stabilization: improving performance via supervisory control

    Full text link
    We analyze robust stability, in an input-output sense, of switched stable systems. The primary goal (and contribution) of this paper is to design switching strategies to guarantee that input-output stable systems remain so under switching. We propose two types of {\em supervisors}: dwell-time and hysteresis based. While our results are stated as tools of analysis they serve a clear purpose in design: to improve performance. In that respect, we illustrate the utility of our findings by concisely addressing a problem of observer design for Lur'e-type systems; in particular, we design a hybrid observer that ensures ``fast'' convergence with ``low'' overshoots. As a second application of our main results we use hybrid control in the context of synchronization of chaotic oscillators with the goal of reducing control effort; an originality of the hybrid control in this context with respect to other contributions in the area is that it exploits the structure and chaotic behavior (boundedness of solutions) of Lorenz oscillators.Comment: Short version submitted to IEEE TA

    Robust Synchronization of the Unified Chaotic System

    Get PDF
    The paper investigates the synchronization problem of the unified chaotic system. The case of identical, but unknown master and slave unified chaotic systems is considered. Based on compound matrices formalism, a unified synchronization control scheme is proposed independently of the unknown system parameter. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the presented scheme

    Adaptive unknonwn-input observers-based synchronization of chaotic circuits for secure telecommunication

    No full text
    International audienceWe propose a robust adaptive chaotic synchronization method based on unknown-input observers for master-slave syn- chronization of chaotic systems, with application to secured com- munication. The slave system is modelled by an unknown input observer in which, the unknown input is the transmitted informa- tion. As in the general observer-based synchronization paradigm, the information is recovered if the master and slave systems ro- bustly synchronize. In the context of unknown-input observers, this is tantamount to estimating the master's states and the unknown inputs. The set-up also considers the presence of perturbations in the chaotic transmitter dynamics and in the output equations (the transmitted signal). That is, the estimator (slave system) must syn- chronize albeit noisy measurements and reject the effect of pertur- bations on the transmitter dynamics. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for synchronization to take place. To highlight our contribution, we also present some simulation results with the purpose of comparing the proposed method to classical adaptive observer-based synchronization (without disturbance rejection). It is shown that additive noise is perfectly canceled and the encoded message is well recovered despite the perturbations

    Design and Implementation of Secure Chaotic Communication Systems

    Chaotic systems have properties such as ergodicity, sensitivity to initial conditions/parameter mismatches, mixing property, deterministic dynamics, structure complexity, to mention a few, that map nicely with cryptographic requirements such as confusion, diffusion, deterministic pseudorandomness, algorithm complexity. Furthermore, the possibility of chaotic synchronization, where the master system (transmitter) is driving the slave system (receiver) by its output signal, made it probable for the possible utilization of chaotic systems to implement security in the communication systems. Many methods like chaotic masking, chaotic modulation, inclusion, chaotic shift keying (CSK) had been proposed however, many attack methods later showed them to be insecure. Different modifications of these methods also exist in the literature to improve the security, but almost all suffer from the same drawback. Therefore, the implementation of chaotic systems in security still remains a challenge. In this work, different possibilities on how it might be possible to improve the security of the existing methods are explored. The main problem with the existing methods is that the message imprint could be found in the dynamics of the transmitted signal, therefore by some signal processing or pattern classification techniques, etc, allow the exposition of the hidden message. Therefore, the challenge is to remove any pattern or change in dynamics that the message might bring in the transmitted signal
