THE CHAOS THEORY

In mathematics and physics, chaos theory describes the behavior of certain nonlinear dynamical systems that may exhibit dynamics that are highly sensitive to initial conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect). As a result of this sensitivity, which manifests itself as an exponential growth of perturbations in the initial conditions, the behavior of chaotic systems appears to be random. This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future dynamics are fully defined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.

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. Observations of chaotic behavior in nature include the dynamics of satellites in the solar system, the time evolution of the magnetic field of celestial bodies, population growth in ecology, the dynamics of the action potentials in neurons, and molecular vibrations. Everyday examples of chaotic systems include weather and climate. There is some controversy over the existence of chaotic dynamics in the plate tectonics and in economics.

Systems that exhibit mathematical chaos are deterministic and thus orderly in some sense; this technical use of the word chaos is at odds with common parlance, which suggests complete disorder. A related field of physics called quantum chaos theory studies systems that follow the laws of quantum mechanics. Recently, another field, called relativistic chaos has emerged to describe systems that follow the laws of general relativity.

As well as being orderly in the sense of being deterministic, chaotic systems usually have well defined statistics. For example, the Lorenz system pictured is chaotic, but has a clearly defined structure. Bounded chaos is a useful term for describing models of disorder.

Chaos theory is applied in many scientific disciplines: mathematics, biology, computer science, economics, engineering, finance, philosophy, physics, politics, population dynamics, psychology, and robotics

  1. Not sure what exactly you are asking, but what I would add to your description of Chaos Theory is this:

    The phenomenon we know as Life is a direct product of "Chaos". It is self-referential (i.e. non-linear) ordered systems created at the edge of chaos that defines the majority of what we see in the Universe: galaxies, stars, planetary systems, and life. So not only is life inevitable, it is prevalent and everywhere.

    And as we study and learn more about Chaos, we discover that intelligence, self-awareness, sentience are in fact emergent properties of the Universe that can be described by the very laws of Chaos Theory.


  2. What you talkin' 'bout Willis?

  3. it all starts with intention and resonancy patters

    Intend to love and the world will fill up wth love

    Intend that the flowrs keep on blossoming and they will never let theit leaves go

    an eternal spring

    Intention

    relates to systems of higher reasoning

    good luck my friend
