Chaos TheoryIn mathematics and physics, chaos theory describes the behavior of certain nonlinear dynamical systems that may exhibit dynamics that are highly sensitive to initial conditions (popularly referred to as the butterfly effect). As a result of this sensitivity, which manifests itself as an exponential growth of perturbations in the initial conditions, the behavior of chaotic systems appears to be random. This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future dynamics are fully defined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos. The Butterfly EffectThe Butterfly Effect is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a nonlinear dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. So this is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position. The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different. Recurrence, the approximate return of a system towards its initial conditions, together with sensitive dependence on initial conditions are the two main ingredients for chaotic motion. They have the practical consequence of making complex systems, such as the weather, difficult to predict past a certain time range (approximately a week in the case of weather). ___________________________________________________________________ Gosh, i must be mad...

Life is so shittening nowadays... Academics are not improving; Concert is so not gonna be a good one; NAPFA test is so gone case, doubt i'll get that silver, or even a bronze; And other factors that are making my life so miserable right now... Haiiiizzzz... Life sucks. Everything's so screwed up... If only we could turn back time...And dang, i'm so vexed now, i can't even think of a song quote... Shitted lah...

Well, those who play the Final Fantasy series should know what the blog title is. But for the benefit of those who do not, it's a potion to revive knocked out friends. So by infering, this will be some sort of a revival post. Haha :p It's only mid January, but lots of stuff are already on its way... Guitar concert, NAPFA, and the 'A' Levels...Seriously wondering how am I gonna manage my time... Well, whats a life without sacrifices? Lolz I want the concert to be a success, i wanna get that silver, i wanna ace the exams... Somewhere around this time, 2 years ago... Mrs Bala told 4-10, "Don't worry, we still have 10 months." Well, true, but it aint a long time, neither is it a short time. Funny to find it that even though i'm taking only 5 subjects now, i'm busier as compared to the 8 subjects that i was taking 2 years ago... Not to mention the pressure from teachers, peers and family... This year is gonna be one hell of a rollercoaster ride... Hmmn... I wonder what's gonna happen this year... ___________________________________________________________________ "Givin' lessons on how to breathe, cos' I think that i've forgotten..."- Nickelback, 'Leader Of Men'

Well, time's gonna be a luxury to me pretty soon... Gonna be like hell busy in the first few months of the year... And some things happening now ain't gonna make things any smoother... The ugly side of human nature, I just can't stand it... Even a 90% happy guy like me got stress limits... When the limit breaks, i wonder what will happen... If only things didn't turn out this way... Lolz, lucky thing there are people out there keeping the spirits up... Especially you... Haha. Oh well, work calls... Over and out. faux., signing off... ___________________________________________________________________ "And the clouds above move closer,looking so dissatisfied...
