Lorenz attractor path-connected?
$begingroup$
Can we tell if the Lorenz attractor is path-connected? By the attractor I do not mean only the line weaving around, but rather its closure.

The question has been answered here: https://mathoverflow.net/a/297836/121665. It is connected but not path connected.
The situation is somewhat similar to the topologist's sine curve: the graph of
$$
f(x)=sinfrac{1}{x},
quad xin (0,1]
$$
is path connected, but its closure (as a subset of $mathbb{R}^2$) is connected, but not path connected.

I do not think the answer in the link directly applies to the Lorenz attractor. We can see in the picture that in the closure of the weaving line, there will be new paths touching the weaving line. These will appear where the "forking" occurs.

It now appears to me that every irreducible subcontinuum of the Lorenz attractor is an arc. And therefore it is path-connected.
