Abstract:
Chaos theory redefines our definition of "randomness" and "predictability," revealing that the world is not simply a struggle between order and chaos, but rather a complex interaction between the two. One of the most important theories of the 20th century, it started out as a branch of mathematics but has since spread to almost every scientific discipline. In the field of chaos theory, nonlinear dynamical systems that appear random or irregular but are actually subject to precise mathematical laws are studied. Despite being deterministic-that is, their behavior can be theoretically predicted if their initial conditions are known-these systems are highly sensitive to those conditions, making them unpredictable in the long run. Another name for this sensitivity is the "butterfly effect".
