chaos in statistical mechanics
Chaos in statistical mechanics is a phenomenon where a complex and seemingly unpredictable behavior arises from the interactions of multiple particles or variables, even when each individual element follows deterministic rules. It is characterized by extreme sensitivity to initial conditions, making long-term predictions challenging and exhibiting a random-like behavior despite its underlying deterministic nature.
