Chaos theory is a field of study in applied mathematics, with applications in several
disciplines including physics, economics, biology, and philosophy. Chaos theory studies
the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions; an
effect which is popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. Small differences in initial
conditions (such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation) yield widely
diverging outcomes for chaotic systems, rendering long-term prediction impossible in general.
[1] This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future
behavior is fully determined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved.
[2] In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable.
[3][4] This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.
Chaotic behavior can be observed in many natural systems, such as the weather.[5] Explanation
of such behavior may be sought through analysis of a chaotic mathematical model, or through
analytical techniques such as recurrence plots and Poincaré maps.

是不是蓄意给月博士自己的母校摸黑?
