| Chaos, philosophy: chaos is a state of disorder. Physical chaos research is about the conditions under which an originally non-chaotic and thus predictable behavior of a nonlinear dynamic system becomes unpredictable behavior through relatively small external influences. See also prediction, experiments, forces, determinism._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Hennig Genz on Chaos - Dictionary of Arguments
II 169 Chaos/Genz: chaos does not yet occur if a system is able to distribute the possible forms of movement over several of its parts. Isolation of subsystems prevents chaos. Context/Genz: in nature, everything does not depend on everything, so that chaos can occur but does not have to. >Description levels/Genz. II 170 Chaos/Genz: chaos can be distinguished from coincidence. Also in case of chaos, the initial values determine the final values. >Concidence, >Contingency, >Facts, >Reality, >Description. This means that the sequences of values are not independent of each other. Therefore, they allow the construction of universal numbers, which come out immediately in all chaotic processes determined by deterministic equations. cf. >Determinism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
