摘要:What is chaos? The Oxford Dictionary defines "chaos" as "complete disorder and confusion". There is however a further definition of "chaos" specifically in the realm of physics. The Royal Society formally defined "chaos" in 1986 as "stochastic behaviour in a deterministic system". A system in chaos is therefore a system that, "although displaying apparently random behaviour, has an underlying pattern and lawfulness". Chaos Theory comes from the observation that a chaotic system appears to be in total disorder, but the theory is really concerned with finding the underlying order of the system.
