This theory reveals how a single flap in one part of a system can, through nonlinear interactions, ultimately reshape distant events across time and space. Foundational Theory: From Weather Models to Unseen Triggers The concept originates in Edward Lorenz’s groundbreaking weather modeling in the 1960s. Lorenz discovered that rounding a single decimal in atmospheric data—say,…
