Chaos Theory Chaos theory as a name comes from the fact that the systems the theory describes (non-linear systems) would seem to be disordered or random or at least unpredictable. Chaos theory tries to find some underlying order in what appears to be random events or data. Edward Lorenz was an early pioneer of the theory. He was working on weather predictions in 1961 and was using a computer to help with the calculations. Lorenz had initiated a sequence of data based on twelve variables in his

This article aims to study the applications of chaos theory in Tom Stoppard’s major play‚ Arcadia. Although chaos and chaotic systems mainly belong to the sciences of physics and mathematics‚ the theory of chaos as a postmodern matrix can be discussed in both art and literature. Stoppard’s‚ and other interdisciplinary author’s‚ main source is James Gleick famous book “Chaos: Making a New Science”.

around us. It is called Chaos Theory. The secular definition of chaos can be misleading when the word is used in a scientific context. As defined by Webster’s dictionary chaos is total disorder. That may lead one to believe that chaos theory is indeed the study of total disorder‚ which it truly is not. In 1986 at a prestigious conference on Chaos another definition for chaos was introduced. It is stochastic behavior occurring in a deterministic set. This definition of chaos was hesitantly brought

Chaos Theory Flip a coin. Pick straws. Play rock‚ paper‚ scissors. Eeenie‚ meanie‚ miny‚ mo. These are all ways people make random decisions. They are all unsystematic methods of making choices that require little or no thought at all. All of these childish‚ silly‚ random techniques of making decisions are methods that relate to chaos theory. Chaos theory is the study and search for a pattern in random decision-making and information. It is about finding the system in unsystematic systems.
