Good find! Long time since I heard Catastrophe theory as it’s geometrical whereas I’m more into different aspects of math – BUT it’s a fantastic crossover junction between geometry and chaos theory.

The “fence” in math between discrete/discontinuous and infinite/continuous is a fascinating zone and I’ve noticed folks tend to pick a side and mostly stay within it, ending up surprisingly ignorant of the other.
So, similar things pop up on either side constantly as each works in the realm in which they’re most comfortable.
So, I’m constantly surprised by finds on the continuous side and go, “But wait – that looks like [this thing I know from the other side”
