Ah, finally, some respite.
About five or six years ago I designed a windage control setup for the SRT4. Ed Peters (ex Chrysler failure analysis engineer) got one for dyno testing and insisted on paying for it. He carefully tested it at an oem level in his dyno cell. His comment:
"this setup is the most significant bolt-on change for oil and windage control that [I have] witnessed since 1986"
There is hope for a philosophy major after all.
Edit: future readers of the thread, please do not let yourselves be browbeaten by some of the members here ...
That they choose not to look should be of little import.

1) it must be sensitive to initial conditions;
2) it must be topologically mixing; and
3) its periodic orbits must be dense.
The requirement for sensitive dependence on initial conditions implies that there is a set of initial conditions of positive measure which do not converge to a cycle of any length.

Apply some contemplation and the hypothesis I forwarded meets all the properties.
An inverse problem exists and many other theories can apply. There is great value in taking the time and effort to follow these alternate chains of reasoning. One never knows when circumstances will let you once again see an old friend.
Good luck.
