Great film by Darren Aronofsky, with the premise being somewhat simple and complex at the same time. There are numbers all around us, in everything we do, everything can be viewed or symbolized as a number. So what if, the stock market, millions of human minds at work, all dealing in the exchange of such numbers were predictable. This is the basis behind many a lotto player's dreams, behind thousands of people who study chaos every day. Just like in Jurassic Park, the explanation given for chaos is rather simple.
Small changes can bring about huge sweeping drastic changes to the outcome.
A butterfly flaps his wings in China, which causes small atmospheric effects that left alone would have been part of normal weather patterns. However this little butterfly has chaos behind him, the flap of his wings changes air flow, which changes the temperature of the air and, maybe, six hours later rain falls on me in the United States. Just look at the patterns in nature says Aronofsky. On the faces of a sunflower, the spiral of a snail shell or a ram's horn, the shape of our milky way galaxy, these very specific spirals can be found almost everywhere if you look. The sequence starts with a 0 and a 1, by adding the first two terms together you arrive at the second term.
