Level two chaos is chaos that reacts to predictions about it, and therefore can never be predicted accurately.
Yuval Noah Harari • Sapiens
He proved, and received the Nobel Prize for showing, that some systems can, in fact, develop in an upward spiral of ever-increasing complexity.
Phyllis Kirk JD • Quantum Lite Simplified
Any understanding of the mundane world that we develop necessarily involves dimension reduction and simplification: so the story goes. We may end up with a tractable model that predicts reasonably well, but we’ll never get our error term to zero, and we mustn’t confuse our toy conceptions for a high-fidelity reproduction of “reality.”
