==Scientific and mathematical chaos==

Mathematically, ''chaos'' means an aperiodic deterministic [[behavior]] which is very sensitive to its initial conditions, i.e., infinitesimal perturbations of initial conditions for a [[chaotic dynamic]] system lead to large variations of the orbit in the phase space.

Chaotic systems are systems that look random but aren't. They are actually deterministic systems (predictable if you have enough [[information]]) governed by physical [[law]]s, that are very difficult to predict accurately (a commonly used example is weather forecasting).
