In the work [Chua, 1992], a deep intuition of its author gave rise to the choice of singularities corresponding to Chua's circuit. Therefore, it is the only one probably exhibiting three saddle points named Chua's singularities in this paper. One of the singularities is a saddle in forward time (dt > 0) of integration, whereas the other two are saddles in backward time (dt < 0) of integration. In the following, the term Chua's Chaos denotes chaos related to Chua's singularities. These singularities are the source of all special surfaces that are the subject of this contribution. We named the surface to which all other surfaces are bound as the Double-Arm Stable Manifold (DASM). The beauty and multifunctionality of this surface represents the unfathomable Intelligence in the sense of [Tolle, 2003]. The presence of the DASM in the state space is a sufficient condition for the generation of Chua's chaos or corresponding periodic windows. Since Chua's singularities are not limited by circuit morphology or the order of state equations, the research on Chua's chaos seems to be still very promising.
