  2. Butterfly effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

    A plot of Lorenz' strange attractor for values ρ=28, σ = 10, β = 8/3. The butterfly effect or sensitive dependence on initial conditions is the property of a dynamical system that, starting from any of various arbitrarily close alternative initial conditions on the attractor, the iterated points will become arbitrarily spread out from each other.

    A sample solution in the Lorenz attractor when ρ = 28, σ = 10, and β = ⁠ 8 / 3 ⁠. The Lorenz system is a system of ordinary differential equations first studied by mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz.

  5. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    In 1972, Lorenz coined the term "butterfly effect" as a metaphor to discuss whether a small perturbation could eventually create a tornado with a three-dimensional, organized, and coherent structure. While connected to the original butterfly effect based on sensitive dependence on initial conditions, its metaphorical variant carries distinct ...

    Butterfly effect image. The butterfly effect describes a phenomenon in chaos theory whereby a minor change in circumstances can cause a large change in outcome. The scientific concept is attributed to Edward Lorenz, a mathematician and meteorologist who used the metaphor to describe his research findings related to chaos theory and weather prediction, [1] [2] initially in a 1972 paper titled ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Sound_of_Thunder

    "A Sound of Thunder" is often credited as the origin of the term "butterfly effect", a concept of chaos theory in which the flapping of a butterfly's wings in one part of the world could create a hurricane on the opposite side of the globe.

    A beautiful butterfly peacefully editing, blissfully unaware that it's about to cause a shitstorm. In the chaotic world of Wikipedia, the butterfly effect is often set into motion when one or more editors are sensitive to small changes in the environment, leading to large differences of opinion that may ultimately result in a fiery shitstorm.
