Butterfly effect

Chaos theory is a field of study in mathematics, physics, economics and philosophy studying the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. This sensitivity is popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. Small differences in initial conditions (such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation) yield widely diverging outcomes for chaotic systems, rendering long-term prediction impossible in general..

The flapping of a single butterfly's wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. So, in a month's time, a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn't happen. Or maybe one that wasn't going to happen, does.

If we analyse graphically, taking two waves, has similar start but after a matter of time, the responses are heavily different as both waves shows no similarity.

Today morning, early morning @ 9.30am, got up from bed, took my brush. Started searching something.. ooh.. it’s the paste.. but its missing, I felt sad(after 1 year, I bought a new one last day.. its missing..!!?) Searching for a while got it, hidden between the cards on the study table. Cards spread all over the room. With my half opened eyes and semi consciousness squeezed some paste to the brush and somehow managed to reach and fixed in front of the wash basin opened the tap.. no water!! Tried once again, this time in anticlockwise direction water coming.. after washing face, once again started the tedious job of brushing, looking to mirror analyzing different expressions. Getting bored of seeing my face for some time the view skipped to the white T shirt which I was wearing, had Reliance Life insurance on the left hand side and Sanskriti under the beautifully designed blue butterfly on the right hand side. Bottom 4 playing in fire.. ya.. the MACEans in fire. But as all DC members that Butterfly is much noticed.

All of them scattered to different places in the this Maharajyam-INDIA, some abroad doing something. Some studying, some trying to study, some got jobs. Have contacts in between (going to be just contacts..)

From somewhere they came to MACE, they had some common views, worked almost in same mentality, done something, tried to make a big butterfly which was meant to reflect DC through pieces of mirror (but..), the star raised in the top of college (founders block).. etc..

At that time the starting point was same only small deviation was there in the coordination and thinking and working. Eventhough they all concentrated on a single point. Traversed through same path. Considering each one in the group (not only DC, any such groups) as single waves which had same paths, after some time it starts deviating from the paths. Initially it will not create a much disturbance in the atmosphere just like a butterfly flap (the flapping of a butterfly causes only a small disturbance in the atmosphere but.. after a course of time it may create a tornado), later on starts changing its behavior at last will behave to create a chaos in the group, usually in the minds of people who still holds the value or importance of such a group.
