please see: http://order.ph.utexas.edu/chaos/
Since prediction of open global systems is not possible to any meaningful
degree of accuracy, the "non-standard" prediction(if one agrees that it was
made)was nothing but a guess, without evidenced causal explanation.
Definitions are the bane of this list, in my opinion ("chaotic nature" of
an "ism").
The 'mapping' you suggest is also impossible for the same reason, so the
question of helpfulness is academic.
