From butterfly effect to Monkey Effect
In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state.(Wikipedia)
This highlights how a small change in the initial condition can lead to a big difference in the final state of the system. If we see this theory through the lens of the evolution theory we can see how the species and behaviors that constitute our world today are so dependant on the initial conditions. It is now proven that humans and monkeys share 98% of genes but if we look at our behaviors and those of monkeys, there is a so colossal gap driven by this only 2% percent change in our genetic code.
Was trying to explain to a brother days ago how the word hedge and this word of my born language were associated and all this theory about the Pareto law. All of these have something to do with this small-sized thought about the butterfly effect in dynamic systems. How Languages and dynamical systems can share concepts, one can ask herself but languages are like genes they can tell us who we are.
