Abstract
We relate progress in statistical mechanics, both at and far from equilibrium, to advances in the theory of dynamical systems. We consider computer simulations of time-reversible deterministic chaos in small systems with three- and four-dimensional phase spaces. These models provide us with a basis for understanding equilibration and thermodynamic irreversibility in terms of Lyapunov instability, fractal distributions, and thermal constraints
