Chaos Theory
Catastrophe theory is a branch of mathematics that studies how small changes in parameters can lead to sudden and dramatic shifts in the behavior of a system. It explores the conditions under which systems can abruptly change states, revealing underlying structures in various phenomena such as physical systems, biology, and social dynamics. The theory highlights how stable states can transform into unstable ones through bifurcations, allowing for a deeper understanding of complex systems.
