chaos
A property of some non-linear dynamic systems which exhib IT sens ITive dependence on in ITial cond ITions. This means that there are in ITial states which evolve w IThin some fin ITe time to states whose separation in one or more dimensions of state space depends, in an average sense, exponentially on their in ITial separation. Such systems may still be completely deterministic in that any future state of the system depends only on the in ITial cond ITions and the equations describing the change of the system w ITh time. IT may, however, require arb ITrarily high precision to actually calculate a future state to w IThin some fin ITe precision. ["On defining chaos", R. Glynn Holt and D. Lynn Holt . ] Fixed precision floating-point arIThmetic, as used by most computers, may actually introduce chaotic dependence on inITial condITions due to the accumulation of rounding errors (which constITutes a non-linear system).
