Properly speaking, chaos must be a dynamical system that is deterministic and unstable and also predictable in the short term. Some phenomena appear to be chaotic when in fact their underlying equations are simple. Chaos is actually the result of stretching and squeezing, processes that are competing over and over again. These processes build up structures we use to classify chaotic systems that are fractals ...
