Hidden messages
Injecting a message into the
transmitter laser “folds” the data
into the chaotic fluctuations. The
receiver reverses this process,
thereby recovering a high-fidelity
copy of the message.

The History of Camouflage
The term camouflage comes from the French word
camoufler meaning "to blind or veil." Camouflage, also
called protective concealment, means to disguise an object,
in plain sight, in order to conceal it from something or
someone.
In the late 1800s, an American artist named Abbott Thayer made an
important observation about animals in nature that became a useful
tool in developing modern camouflage. After studying wildlife, Thayer
noticed that the coloring of many animals graduated from dark, on
their backs, to almost white on their bellies. This is an important
property that is very useful in modern camouflage. This gradation
from dark to light breaks up the surface of an object and makes it
harder to see the object as one thing. The object loses its threedimensional qualities and appears flat. This tendency to break up and
flatten the surface of an object also appears in the artistic movement,
Cubism, which was occurring during this same time period.
Camouflage, as we know it today, was born in 1915 when the French
army created a new unit called the camouflage division. Artists were
among the first people the French army called in to help develop
camouflage for use during WWI.

Q: can we determine how well a particular topology
of chaotic oscillators will synchronize?
SYNCHRONIZABILITY
over what range of coupling strengths
does the network exhibit synchrony?
what is the coupling cost min for the network
to synchronize?
how fast (emt) does the network converge to a
synchronous state?

application II
optimal networks
Q: can we determine how well a particular topology
of chaotic oscillators will synchronize?
A: yes, the variance of eigenvalues s of L is a
measure of these synchronization properties:

Influence of network structure:
Does the synchronizability measure s completely characterize the
synchronization properties?
For co-spectral configurations with m links, does the connection geometry
matter?

Sync and desync coexist in ensembles of non-locally coupled, identical nonlinear dynamical phase
oscillators
Can they be observed in real experimental systems?
