The "tree falling in the forest stuff"." <<
Are you claiming that if a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around, it has not made a sound?
In dynamic systens, the observer cannot be removed from the equasion (the observer).
Hence, in chaos, there appaars to be observable times of predictability, period doubling (bifurcation) etc,.when the systen is obserbably chaotic, regardless of the attractor. <<

No. But what is the point of asking that question?
