What is Chaos Theory? | The Call of Duty

What is Chaos Theory? 

• The Chaos theory is a study in mathematics to understand the dynamic behaviour of nature. 

• The butterfly effect is the best example of chaos theory, small wings flapping in one state can cause big effects at a later stage. 

• It deals with nonlinear things that are effectively impossible to predict or control. it also called the deterministic behaviour of the system. 

• Newtonian laws are completely deterministic one.

  “A butterfly flapping its wings in China can cause a hurricane in Texas”

  “There is no randomness, everything is interconnected and forms some pattern”

Let see how its link to our technology

• Analytics and Prediction are the two challenges in front of today’s technology.
• It helps to understand and solve many complex problems in today’s world through the lens of Chaos Theory.
• Example fields influenced by Chaos theory

• • Game theory

• • Machine Learning

• • Predictive analytics

• • Business Intelligence

• • Deep Learning

• • Internet of Things

• • Bigdata Analytics

• • Fuzzy logic and cognitive thinking

Principles of Chaos

• The Butterfly Effect: “Small changes in the initial conditions lead to drastic changes in the results” 

• Fractals: “Fractal is a pattern. They are complex and created by simple repeating process” 

• Unpredictability: “Difficult to predict the ultimate effect of a complex system” 

• Feedback: “When feedback is given to the systems, it will get disordered”
