Slide__JDO0IKOfEd-WfYQ0GneCwQ_subTitle=The figure shows the effect of a minimal disturbance of the motion in a Lorenz system. <p>This <i>symptom</i> of a <q>sensitive dependence on initial conditions</q> is often also viewed as the <i>essence</i> of chaotic dynamics. This conception is certainly in need of revision\: there are nonchaotic classical systems that show the same behaviour - and the theme <i>quantum chaos</i> hints at different criteria, too.</p>
