As a teenager I was obsessed with James Gleick’s book chaos. This idea of simple systems having unpredictable results even though there is a pattern to them. The lack of rules leading to unforeseen outcomes.
Simply put
Chaotic systems are not random; they are governed by strict rules, but their behavior is so complex that it is effectively unpredictable.
Most people know this as the butterfly effect.
