Weather chaotic system

Butterfly effect The butterfly effect was put forward by meteorologist Lorenz 1963. A butterfly flapping its wings occasionally in the tropical rain forest of Amazon basin in South America may cause a tornado in Texas within two weeks. The reason is that the movement of butterfly wings leads to the change of the surrounding air system, producing weak airflow, which in turn will cause the corresponding change of the surrounding air or other systems, causing a chain reaction, and finally leading to great changes in other systems. This effect shows that the result of the development of things is extremely sensitive to the initial conditions, and the smallest deviation of the initial conditions will cause great differences in the results.

Butterfly effect is a concept in chaos theory. It refers to the dependence on the sensitivity of initial conditions. Small differences at the input end will quickly amplify to the output end. Butterfly effect is everywhere in economic life: China announced the launch of missiles, and US$ 654.38+0 billion from Hong Kong and Taiwan flowed to the United States. Butterfly effect, also known as billiards effect, is a figurative term that chaotic systems are extremely sensitive to initial values, and it is also the direct cause of chaotic phenomena in nonlinear systems under certain conditions (which can be called critical conditions or threshold conditions).
