More fundamental instabilities in oscillators?

This is a speculative paper. It introduces some as yet untested ideas based on some new observations of electromagnetic (EM) waves in three areas. It postulates that multiple EM surface wave layers and multiple lattice paths in waveguides should have counterparts in acoustic and dielectric resonators and delay lines. Because the paths are partially coupled, energy can exchange between them in a way that may become chaotic. The dasianon-linearitypsila required for chaos to occur is the dasiafinite energypsila constraint. Does the dasiafinite energypsila constraint actually cause instabilities in oscillators? Can this be a chaotic process? Does it only occur when there are multiple paths? Bulk and surface acoustic waves have many of the attributes and features of electromagnetic waves. Perhaps these effects do exist, but normally are of too low level to be of concern? SPICE simulations can illustrate some of the speculative effects.
