  2. 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.

  3. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    Due to the sensitive dependence of solutions on initial conditions (SDIC), also known as the butterfly effect, chaotic systems like the Lorenz 1963 model imply a finite predictability horizon. This means that while accurate predictions are possible over a finite time period, they are not feasible over an infinite time span.

  4. Lorenz system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_system

    For example, even the small flap of a butterfly's wings could set the earth's atmosphere on a vastly different trajectory, in which for example a hurricane occurs where it otherwise would have not (see Saddle points). The shape of the Lorenz attractor itself, when plotted in phase space, may also be seen to resemble a butterfly.

  6. Causality (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality_(physics)

    Theories in physics like the butterfly effect from chaos theory open up the possibility of a type of distributed parameter systems in causality. [citation needed] The butterfly effect theory proposes: "Small variations of the initial condition of a nonlinear dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system."
