It is stochastic behavior occurring in a deterministic set. This definition of chaos was hesitantly brought

Order and chaos are related to and dependent on each other. The clear cut distinction between them is man made and an illusion. Society uses order to regulate all aspects of the world from nature to personal lives‚ while chaos allows for open mindedness and also provides an explanation for certain aspects of the world. This can be seen in science‚ theology‚ music‚ language‚ and imaginative play. Science is rational‚ logical‚ and orderly. It has the ability to break apart complex systems

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
