ABSTRACT
Deterministic science has been around a long time, and it still works. The butterfly effect is a subset of Chaos Mathematics, which is the mathematic subset of Complexity Science, which also draws on other "hard" sciences like physics, chemistry and biology. This is a new hard science, and not one dreamed up by some pot-smoking hippies on a far-away beach. The most useable way is that of David Snowden and Mary Boone, called the "Cynefin" model. It proposes that there are four contexts or issues one deals with: Simple, Complicated, Complex and Chaotic. The science gives another clue about complexity – alignment works well when things are complicated, but when things are complex an element of misalignment is needed. Complexity Science emerged in the 1970s when a variety of scientists, all working in splendid isolation within the own fields, began to find the same thing regarding non-linear dynamics.
