The Complexity of Chaos
I don't think there's any system that's ever been shown to be truly chaotic, other than the computer simulations. Chaos is a very specific type of behaviour that a complex system can show. The interesting thing is to ask, when does it move from being chaotic to regular, the tap dripping? Why is it that the butterfly doesn't always cause a storm in the west coast of England? There are many butterflies, which butterfly? I don't think that applies to the brain. But surely if it is molecular levels, there's got to be a certain predictability about it,. otherwise we're abandoning any idea that the materialistic world determines anything significant at all.
