Does anybody know offhand what the graph next to Premise 3 illustrates?

  That's a phase space diagram, used for analyzing complex systems. Quite a handy tool for dissecting which dimensions are important, which ones you can simply collapse into one yet keep the interesting dynamics, etc. (These are [were] used for understanding neurons and neuron models. The ion channels, the electric potential, and so on were the dimensions.) The concrete example looks like a Lorenz attractor: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LorenzAttractor.html http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LorenzAttractor.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_system < many more images :)
