As stated in the [Wiki](http://steins-

However, they prevent

The question is, if Steins Gate is in

Why is Steins;Gate in the Beta Attractor Field?


The Steins;Gate World Line is not in the Beta Attractor Field.

While the final result of the Beta Attractor Field (World Lines 1% to 1.99%)
convergence is WW3 which is fought over Makise Kurisu's time travel thesis,
Steins;Gate (1.048596%) is the only exception because the thesis is destroyed
(and thus time travel doesn't exist in that World Line).

At the beginning of the final chapter of the VN and episode 23 of the anime,
Suzuha herself had told Okabe that the Steins;Gate World Line is not bounded
by any attractor field.

They used thread as an example for world lines, all are slightly different.

Attractor Field Example: <http://steins-gate.wikia.com/wiki/Attractor_Field>

But when thread frays and unravels strands can get separated, thus creating a
divergent would line.

Although the Steins;Gate world line has a divergence number 1.048596, the
Steins;Gate world line is between the 2 attractor fields - the alpha and the
beta.

This allows it to not converge to either of the converging points of the alpha
and beta attractor fields, in this case, Mayuri dying/SERN dystopia or WW3,
and therefore the Steins;Gate world line can have a different future than
either of them, i.e, a peaceful one.

It isn't in the Beta Attractor Field. It's being separated from any attractor
field (maybe has its own, since there are few world lines too close to the
Steins Gate and repeating its events, for example, 1.048599, the alternate
story of _Robotics;Notes_ from manga Legacy Revival, or the "R" line from the
movie).

According to the official documentation for the world lines in Amadeus'
Script, released after _Steins;Gate 0_ , 1.048596 is in "Steins Gate" section.
An interesting thing, that there is 1.049326 world line, which belongs to
mysterious X Attractor Field.
