It’s implicit in the method. There also isn’t a definition of computability in the papers or Wikipedia because it assumes you have a basic understanding.

Chaotic functions require that you iteratively step through them because they aren’t closed form.

“For chaotic systems the evolution equations always include nonlinear terms,5 which makes “closed-form” solutions of these equations impossible—roughly, a closed-form solution is a single formula that allows one to simply plug in the time of the desired prediction into the equation and determine the state of the system at that time.”

I last wrote a paper on chaos in a mechanical system 35 years but I haven’t forgotten the basics.
