Chaos theory is a field of study in mathematics which studies the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions—a response 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 such dynamical 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. The theory was summarized by Edward Lorenz as:[5]
Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.
Chaotic behavior can be observed in many natural systems, such as weather and climate.[6][7] This behavior can be studied through analysis of a chaotic mathematical model, or through analytical techniques such as recurrence plots and Poincaré maps. Chaos theory has applications in several disciplines, including meteorology, sociology, physics, engineering, economics, biology, and philosophy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theoryAnother well known hypothesis seems to be based on an idea that change and chaos are not good things, and seems to have a control system where everyone submits to a big god and carries out various actions and rituals, and forbids others, basically to what end, to minimise change?
Other religions also seem to use various forms of structure. Conflicts seem to occur when it is alleged that the other is not following the rules properly, or behaving chaotically. Religious police are used for example.
Does this not lead to the following conclusions.
People who go around saying the other should do, not do, think x, y and z are delusional, and have a possibly psychotic fantasy that there is a fixed standard somewhere to follow.
We really need to discuss with each other openly what guidelines we need to live together. These ideas can come from anywhere, including old books, but they all need testing and checking carefully.
Bacon sarnies and beer are delicious!
