The Butterfly Effect
Chaos Theory
Tiny changes in big systems can have complex results. This concept developed by Edward Lorenz. 1960.
The effect is derived from the metaphorical example of details of a tornado, being influenced by minor perturbation such as flapping the wings of a butterfly several weeks earlier. A small butterfly can have a dramatic effect of an event, like a cause of a tornado on the other side of the world. Each path produces a different outcome. The actions started out small, changing these small steps, the devastating outcome could be prevented.
