The Legacy of Chaos and Complexity Theory in the 21st Century
I'm writing a book about the legacy of chaos and complexity theory in the 21st century. The Jurassic Park popularized this notion of the butterfly effect, which is not really about the influence of small scale perturbations on macro scale phenomena. We can't predict the hurricane by creating a model that is coarse grained enough that it misses the influence of the butterfly. And so I mean, this is just to like make the stakes clear in why a more meso scale organization would be better.
