Interesting! I've never heard climate science explained this way before.

Could you point me to a few papers which expound on this view? I'd be interested to see the mathematical models behind this.

Lorenz's Deterministic Nonperiodic Flow is the earliest work on the topic that I can think of. It's relatively accessible too.

Nice pointer. And in particular, Figure 2 of the paper you linked, which shows the simple "Lorenz System" orbiting about a state C for a long time, and then transitioning (at a hard-to-predict time) to a far-away state C'.
