Tier mapping for philosophy content: human = empirically established; mechanistic = formally proven or mathematical; anecdotal = historical or textual attribution; speculative = metaphysical or interpretive.\n- Cite real sources only: primary works, papers, books, with exact quotes where verifiable.

He found that the scaling ratios between successive bifurcation intervals converge to the same two numbers for many different maps. These numbers are now called the Feigenbaum constants α ≈ 2.5029 and δ ≈ 4.6692.\\n\\nThe 1979 paper shows that the local structure near the accumulation point of period doublings obeys functional equations whose solutions are universal. A hierarchy of functions g_τ(X) describes the attractor at each level of 2^τ points. All metric properties of the cascade follow from α and δ alone, to within 0.4 percent accuracy in tested cases.\\n\\n## Exact primary works and passages\\n\\nPrimary work: Feigenbaum, M.J. (1979).
