Definition: mathematically, it’s a stable point that turns into choas. An example is a thunder storm.
I will add to that little nuggets of information soon.
A formal definition:
Interdisciplinary ( more than one area of knowledge) scientific theory and branch of mathematics focused on underlying patterns and deterministic laws of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions that were once thought to have completely random state of disorder and irregularities.
Unbelievable!! No wonder some people don’t like mathematics.
Some comments: all events determined by causes regarded as external to the will
Analogy: everything is predetermined.
A dynamic system: is a state that evolves with time over a space according to a fixed rule.
Analogy: any changes forever follow a fixed path.
Initial conditions: a set of starting point values belonging to or impressed upon the variables in an equation that that has one or more arbitrary constants.
Example: ax+by where x and y are variables and “a” and “b” are constants. I guess impressed upon the variables means they are influenced by the first values.
Example: the butter fly effect.- a small change( flapping wings) csn have a bug effect later on.
Long term effects are hard to predict.
