The study of dynamics in general relativity has been hampered by a lack of coordinate independent measures of chaos. Here we present a variety of invariant measures for quantifying chaotic dynamics in relativity by exploiting the coordinate independence of fractal dimensions. We discuss how preferred choices of time naturally arise in chaotic systems and how the existence of invariant signals of chaos allow us to reinstate standard coordinate dependent measures. As an application, we study the Mixmaster universes and find it to exhibit transient soft chaos.
