Chaos Theory. High School

The document discusses chaos theory, introduced by Edward Lorenz, which explores how minor changes in complex systems can lead to unpredictable outcomes, exemplified by the butterfly effect. It emphasizes that chaotic systems are deterministic and sensitive to initial conditions, and while they may appear disordered, they actually exhibit complex orders. Additionally, the document touches on complexity theory, highlighting the characteristics of complex systems and their adaptive nature.

A great number of elements or similar agents,

Persistent movement, and the answers of
these elements to other agents.
The ability to adapt the way in which the
system adjusts to new situations to ensure the
survival.
The progression in complexity which means
that over time the system becomes larger and
