| sensitivity to initial conditions: |
arbitrarily close to every state S1 of the system, there is a state S2
whose future eventually is significantly different from that of S1. That is
"Even the tiniest change can alter the future in ways you can't imagine.". |
| dense periodic points: |
arbitrarily close to every state S1 of the system, there is a state S2
whose future behavior eventually returns exactly to S2. |
| mixing: |
given any two states S1 and S2, the
futures of some states near S1 eventually become near S2. |
