  2. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    For example, a study on models of Canadian lynx showed there was chaotic behavior in the population growth. [133] Chaos can also be found in ecological systems, such as hydrology. While a chaotic model for hydrology has its shortcomings, there is still much to learn from looking at the data through the lens of chaos theory. [134]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_(cosmogony)

    In both cases, chaos referring to a notion of a primordial state contains the cosmos in potentia but needs to be formed by a demiurge before the world can begin its existence. The use of chaos in the derived sense of "complete disorder or confusion" first appears in Elizabethan Early Modern English, originally implying satirical exaggeration ...

    This is an example of the deep and ubiquitous connection between chaos and fractals. Magnification of the chaotic region of the map Stable regions within the chaotic region, where a tangent bifurcation occurs at the boundary between the chaotic and periodic attractor, giving intermittent trajectories as described in the Pomeau–Manneville scenario

  5. Butterfly effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

    A plot of Lorenz' strange attractor for values ρ=28, σ = 10, β = 8/3. The butterfly effect or sensitive dependence on initial conditions is the property of a dynamical system that, starting from any of various arbitrarily close alternative initial conditions on the attractor, the iterated points will become arbitrarily spread out from each other.

    Lorenz was born in 1917 in West Hartford, Connecticut. [5] He acquired an early love of science from both sides of his family. His father, Edward Henry Lorenz (1882-1956), majored in mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his maternal grandfather, Lewis M. Norton, developed the first course in chemical engineering at MIT in 1888.

    For example, creation from chaos (Chinese Hundun and Hawaiian Kumulipo), dismembered corpses of a primordial being (Pangu, Indo-European Yemo and Mesopotamian Tiamat), world parent siblings (Fuxi and Nüwa and Japanese Izanagi and Izanami), and dualistic cosmology (yin and yang and Zoroastrian Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu). In contrast, other ...
