In such a state, the chaotic behavior of each system is stabilized onto one of the system\u2019s many unstable periodic orbits (generally located densely on the associated attractor), and the ensuing periodicity of each system is sustained by the symbolic dynamics of its partner system, and vice versa. Notably, chaotic entanglement is an entropy-reversing event: the entropy of each member of an entangled pair decreases to zero when each system collapses onto a given period orbit. In this paper, we discuss the role that entropy plays in chaotic entanglement. We also describe the geometry that arises when pairs of entangled chaotic systems organize into coherent structures that range in complexity from simple tripartite lattices to more involved patterns. We conclude with a discussion of future research directions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23101254","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,27]],"date-time":"2021-09-27T01:59:47Z","timestamp":1632707987000},"page":"1254","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Chaotic Entanglement: Entropy and Geometry"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3077-9388","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthew A.","family":"Morena","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Christopher Newport University, Newport News, VA 23606, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1624-5892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kevin M.","family":"Short","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Integrated Applied Mathematics Program, Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH 03824, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3031","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.70.3031","article-title":"Communicating with chaos","volume":"70","author":"Hayes","year":"1993","journal-title":"Phys.
