COMMENT

Designed to be integer and 200 in length, this function is a limited

representation of a Devil's staircase function; a projection of a set of

rational numbers onto the Integers.

We should honor Per Bak's memory who saw this phase locking as the key

to self-organization.

FORMULA

a(n)=Floor[1+200*Winding_Number(Omega)]: 0<=omega<=1;in steps of 1/200

MATHEMATICA

f[{omega_, t_}]:={omega, t+omega-Sin[2Pi t]/(2Pi)}; WindingNumber[n_, {omega_, t_}]:=(Nest[f, {omega, t}, n][[2]]-t)/n; a=Table[Floor[1+200*WindingNumber[1000, {omega, 0}]], {omega, 0, 1, .005}]
