I stumbled upon it some years back when I was blogging on complexity. A little history of it might be interesting to some. It led to chaos theory in time.Lets look at chaos theory. Chaos theory was first described by Henri Poincare in the 19th century when he was grappling with what was called the “Three body Problem.” In physics, the problem refers to measuring position, mass, velocity, momentum of certain particles or masses and then trying to devise a method to calculate the position of these particles in the future . The problem was thought to be governed by classical Newtonian laws and laws of gravitation. He was unable to devise a successful method with those classical constraints and he sought a new methodology. Unfortunately chaos theory reinforces the realization of how difficult it is to understand complex systems let alone model them or predict outcomes. Your conclusion seems spot on but no way to know how or when.sv kohohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11058401490041584973noreply@blogger.com
