whenever i hear “chaos theory” i think of jeff goldbloom playing with that water droplet in Jurassic Park. but i digress. your blog is the real deal. i am usually angry that you figured this stuff out before me, but then i’m unbelievably happy that someone else has done the work

kudos.

Albert,

I think you’re right. Real world volatility is much more chaotic than it is random (as the recent financial crises showed). We need to take into account more extreme values.

Greg, great summary piece. Certainly the future will be in harnessing the dynamical nature of networks to extract and exploit intelligence. Technologies of the future will need to be “architected” to serve these environments more effectively.

Wilfried,

I can recommend “Chaos” by James Gleik, Sych by Steven Strogatz and The (Mis)Behaviour of Markets by Mandelbrot.

Thanks, Gordon.

What I think is interesting is that Power Laws and chaos a mathematically the same thing.
