== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Chaos Theory''' β The study of systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. * '''The Butterfly Effect''' β The phenomenon where a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. * '''Determinism''' β The idea that the future is determined by the past; in a chaotic system, the future is determined but still '''Unpredictable'''. * '''Fractal''' β A mathematical set that exhibits a "Self-Similar" pattern that repeats at every scale (e.g., a snowflake or a coastline). * '''Strange Attractor''' β A set of values toward which a chaotic system tends to evolve, often forming beautiful, complex geometric shapes. * '''Lorenz Attractor''' β The famous "Butterfly-shaped" graph that first proved the existence of chaos in weather models. * '''Bifurcation''' β When a system's behavior "splits" from one steady state into two, then four, then chaos. * '''Non-linearity''' β When the output is not proportional to the input. * '''Phase Space''' β A multi-dimensional "Map" of all possible states of a system. * '''Sensitive Dependence''' β The core rule of chaos; even a tiny error in measurement makes long-term prediction impossible. * '''Turbulence''' β The chaotic motion of fluids (like air or water) that is one of the hardest problems in physics. * '''Iteration''' β The repetition of a process; in chaos, small errors grow larger every time the process "loops." </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
