Is there a #mathematical framework for abrupt change? Christopher Zeeman was one of the key figures behind #CatastropheTheory, a topological approach to discontinuous behavior that later informed much of today’s work on #TippingPoints. Just came across his elegant 1976 paper, outlining his core ideas:
