Qualitatively, chaos theory explains systems with unpredictable behavior.
Chaos theory is built on the concepts of nonlinearity and feedback.
In its most complete form, Chaos theory is embodied within the mathematical field of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems. Before Chaos To understand the significance of chaos theory, we ned to go back to Newton and explore the nature of quantitative measurements. In some cases, observed processes are 'too complex' to measure in detail - statistical analysis helps to show average tendencies. However, we normally measure such systems only at discrete times. We have incomplete knowledge of what is happening to the systems between measurements.
