What is the philosophy of butterfly effect?

The philosophical truth of "butterfly effect";

1. Different parts and elements of everything are interrelated.

2. Nothing can exist in isolation, but it has something to do with other objects.

3. The whole world is an interconnected and unified whole, and everything is an integral part or link in the universal connection of the world.

Butterfly effect is usually used in weather, stock market and other complex systems that are difficult to predict in a certain period of time. If this gap is getting bigger and bigger, it will be very destructive. Why are there crashes and unpredictable natural disasters in the weather or the stock market?

The theoretical source of "butterfly effect";

In the 1970s, an American meteorologist named Lorenz explained the theory of air system, saying that the wings of a butterfly in the Amazon rainforest occasionally vibrate, which may trigger a tornado in Texas within two weeks.

1963, Lorenz published a paper "Decisive Aperiodic Flow" and analyzed this effect. This paper was later widely quoted. He also wrote in another journal article, "A meteorologist mentioned that if this theory is proved to be correct, a seagull flapping its wings is enough to change the weather forever."

Butterfly effect refers to a very small change in initial conditions, which will have a great impact on its future state after continuous amplification. Some small things can be confused, and some small things are very important to an organization and a country if they are amplified by the system, so we can't confuse them.
