Epicurus added the clinamen — a random, uncaused swerve — to save atomism from determinism. Two thousand years later, it became the diffusion term in every SDE ever written.
Solving the MHD induction equation in spherical geometry with Dedalus — magnetic diffusion on the 2D sphere surface and inside a 3D conducting ball, with animated GIF simulations.
