Hi--

For some reason the postings on OSlist this morning
triggered the idea of "the Butterfly Effect."

This is the scientific notion that small changes in initial
conditions in say weather, can make huge changes in outcomes.
Thus it is said that a butterfly flapping its wings in China
today can cause a tornado in Kansas in two months.

Has anyone given any thought to the convergences and
divergences of the Butterfly Effect and the effects of
"butterflies" in our Open Spaces?

It has always been difficult for me to understand the role
of butterflies in OST, and perhaps this might actually give
us another handle on the subject....
