    Howdi, I really didn't know where to post this question but do the attractors in chaos theory apply with all dynamical systems? If so do they exist in human sets of values and behaviours?

    Well attractors exist in all dissipative dynamical systems. but they're not necessarily strange, as the the attractors in chaos theory are called.
    if the the system is linear for example, it will not be chaotic. Besides non-linearity other conditions for chaos are necessary, such as having at least 3 degrees of freedom.
    as for the second question, well i'm not quite sure what you mean.
    I mean first you must presume to quantify human values or behaviors.
    if you mean something like crowd dynamics then yeah you could look for such a strange attractor.
