   Chaos theory is a field of study in mathematics, physics, economics, and philosophy studying the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions.

This sensitivity is popularly referred to as the butterfly effect . Small differences in initial conditions (such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation) yield widely diverging outcomes for chaotic systems, rendering long-term prediction impossible in general. This happens even though these systems are deterministic , meaning that their future behavior is fully determined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos Chaotic behavior can be observed in many natural systems, such as the weather. Explanation of such behavior may be sought through analysis of a chaotic mathematical model , or through analytical techniques such as recurrence plots and Poincaré maps Chaos theory is applied in many scientific disciplines: mathematics programming microbiology biology ... psychology , and robotics Chaotic behavior has been observed in the laboratory in a variety of systems including electrical circuits lasers oscillating chemical reactions ... fluid dynamics , and mechanical and magneto-mechanical devices, as well as computer models of chaotic processes. Observations of chaotic behavior in nature include changes in weather

   Extractions: Or the steak knife will baptize your lung!!!!! Chaos Theory essentially states that "Hey, shit happens". The Universe is a pretty big place, and if you just leave matter laying around you never know what's going to happen. For example; given enough time, there may yet be an intelligent leader in the United States. Random stuff is always going to happen, so just chill out and smoke a fatty . In fact, scientists are too busy to care about what randomness is all about, so they came up with the catchy new-age antiestablisharianologisocialistomorphosed term of 'Chaos Theory'. Scientists claim that there is no real way of predicting when something random will, will not, or may, or in fact may not occur. The only rational defense against randominity was developed by Albert Einstein in the late after his plate ran away with the spoon during one of his bipolar episodes. After his initial surprise, he came up with a solution by using the following equation:

Chaos theory tries to model dynamic systems . Some of these systems are highly dependent on what are called initial conditions, or starting conditions. A very small change in these conditions may mean that the system behaves in a completely different way than before. This is known as the Butterfly effect As an example, take a pendulum that is attached at some point, and swings freely. Connecting a second pendulum to the first will make the system completely different. Its rut seems that the pendulum should swing the exact same way. It is very hard to start in the exact same position again - a change in starting position so small that it cannot even be seen can quickly cause the pendulum swing to become different from what it was before. Very small changes in the starting position of a chaotic system make a big difference after a while. This is why even large computers cannot tell the weather for more than a few days in the future: we simply cannot know exactly enough what the weather is today! When a bird or a

External links When Anomalus shrinks and becomes invincible, all of the active rifts begin spamming an arcane Chain Lightning type attack that deals a moderately-low amount of damage (around 300-500 a tick). While it doesn't seem like a lot of damage, each rift does this damage to the entire party every two seconds. It adds up. Now, while it looks as though the rifts zap each party member individually this is not the case. The rift lightning is in fact a chain-effect that targets the party member closest to the rift before arcing to another party member in the chain. This means that if one party member is closer to the rifts than the rest of the party, and there is a large enough gap between that member and the rest of the party, then the lightning will

    Extractions: Home What exactly is chaos? The name "chaos theory" comes from the fact that the systems that the theory describes are apparently disordered, but chaos theory is really about finding the underlying order in apparently random data. When was chaos first discovered? The first true experimenter in chaos was a meteorologist, named Edward Lorenz. In 1960, he was working on the problem of weather prediction. He had a computer set up, with a set of twelve equations to model the weather. It didn't predict the weather itself. However this computer program did theoretically predict what the weather might be. Figure 1: Lorenz's experiment: the difference between the starting values of these curves is only .000127. (Ian Stewart, Does God Play Dice? The Mathematics of Chaos, pg. 141) One day in 1961, he wanted to see a particular sequence again. To save time, he started in the middle of the sequence, instead of the beginning. He entered the number off his printout and left to let it run. When he came back an hour later, the sequence had evolved differently. Instead of the same pattern as before, it diverged from the pattern, ending up wildly different from the original. (See figure 1.) Eventually he figured out what happened. The computer stored the numbers to six decimal places in its memory. To save paper, he only had it print out three decimal places. In the original sequence, the number was .506127, and he had only typed the first three digits, .506.

15. Chaos (Stanford Encyclopedia Of Philosophy)
    In contrast, perhaps one should conceive of chaos theory in a more informal way, say along the lines of Kuhn's (1996) analysis of scientific paradigms.  
    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/chaos/
    
    Extractions: Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free First published Wed Jul 16, 2008 The big news about chaos is supposed to be that the smallest of changes in a system can result in very large differences in that system's behavior. The so-called butterfly effect has become one of the most popular images of chaos. The idea is that the flapping of a butterfly's wings in Argentina could cause a tornado in Texas three weeks later. By contrast, in an identical copy of the world sans the Argentinian butterfly, no such storm would have arisen in Texas. The mathematical version of this property is known as sensitive dependence In addition to exhibiting sensitive dependence, chaotic systems possess two other properties: they are deterministic and nonlinear (Smith 2007). This entry discusses systems exhibiting these three properties and what their philosophical implications might be for theories and theoretical understanding, confirmation, explanation, realism, determinism, free will and consciousness, and human and divine action. 1.

Nature is highly complex, and the only prediction you can make is that she is unpredictable. The amazing unpredictability of nature is what Chaos Theory looks at. Why? Because in stead of being boring and translucent, nature is marvelous and mysterious. And Chaos Theory has managed to somewhat capture the beauty of the unpredictable and display it in the most awesome patterns. Nature, when looked upon with the right kind of eyes, presents herself as one of the most fabulous works of art ever wrought. What is Chaos Theory?
