What are the critical principles of nonlinear science?
What are the critical principles of nonlinear science?

The critical principles of this new science are as follows:
 

  • Nonlinear systems can, under certain conditions, display highly chaotic behavior.
  • The behavior of a chaotic system can change drastically in response to small changes in the system's initial conditions.
  • A chaotic system is deterministic.
  • System output is not proportionate to system input.
