Yet more interesting information about focusing chaos to useful energy
levels, as in what we would do to entrain chaotic zpe/aether flows to
useful energy concentrations;

Using a mathematical model, they demonstrate that ocean currents or
large fields of random eddies and vortices can sporadically
concentrate a steady ocean swell to create unusually large waves.
The current or eddy field acts like an optical lens to focus the wave
action, says applied mathematician Bengt Fornberg of the University of
Colorado at Boulder.
.....Applied mathematician Marius Gerber of Stellenbosch University in
South Africa recently showed that changes in wave direction forced by
a narrow, fast current can raise wave heights considerably in certain
areas of the current.
His calculations also suggest that such waves would have a distinctive
shape, displaying a steep forward face preceded by a deep trough.
Mariners who have experienced rogue waves have described such troughs
as "holes in the sea."
This focusing mechanism is very likely responsible for the freak,
isolated waves encountered in the Agulhas Current, Gerber argues. Such
focusing could also occur within or near the Gulf Stream in the North
Atlantic.
Fornberg and White have now shown, in principle, that similar focusing
can take place when an ocean swell of regularly spaced waves traverses
an area of random current fluctuations.
They can compute the probability of particularly intense wave action
and the formation of rogue waves in different regions of the field.
These probabilities depend on how far the waves of the ocean swell
have traveled through the eddies rather than on the detailed structure
of the eddies themselves.
