Metelica Effect
In 1963, Edward Lorenz tried to model the weather. He noticed that a microscopic change in initial data (0.506 instead of 0.506127) leads to an entirely different weather outcome.
This is a system of three differential equations:
dx/dt = σ(y - x)
dy/dt = x(ρ - z) - y
dz/dt = xy - βz
The figure you see is called the 'Strange Attractor'. A point never crosses its path twice.
