attractors
Things that pull
Attractors are things that draw or pull other things toward themselves.
In mathematics and physics, an attractor is a set of states toward which a system tends to evolve over time—a point, curve, or pattern that captures the long-term behavior of dynamic systems.
The strange attractor in chaos theory produces those famous butterfly-shaped patterns.
More loosely, anything that draws attention or interest: Tourist attractions are the city's main attractors.
