What is Chaos Theory ?

Chaos Theory is a field of study that focuses on the underlying patterns and deterministic laws of dynamical systems. It emphasizes the “butterfly effect”, the concept that minor alterations in a system’s initial conditions can drastically modify its long-term behavior. Despite adhering to fundamental physical laws, Chaos Theory portrays a universe that, while deterministic, is capable of disorder, complexity, and unpredictability. It suggests that predictability is an uncommon phenomenon, operating only within specific constraints that science has identified amidst the vast diversity of our complex world.
