Chaos theory is really about finding the underlying order in apparently random data.

It was a fashionable new branch of mathematics a decade or two ago, about the possibility of better modeling complex dynamic systems like flowing water or the weather, using some iterative functions that like these systems produce results which are... chaotic.
It was hoped that some underlying mathematical structure to chaos could be figured out.
Well that's the impression I got from watching jurassic park anyway. yup yup yup yup yup yup

My daughter's pal is doing Chaos Theory for his Ph.D. However - I 'm afraid its only words to me - something to do with randomness evenutally prducing a recognisable pattern and then reverting to chaos again.

I think Chaos is part of Greek mythology.

Its the theory that if you put more than two opposed politicians of different nationalities together for more than ten minutes, war is almost inevitable.

In predictable systms, a small change in input (what you do) leads to a small change in output (result)
In chaotic systems, small changes in input can lead to multiply and widely different results

Predictablity in complex systems.

I think its when if something small happens somewhere, something big will happen elsewhere. Or that something small can cause a big event sort of thing.
