Chaos Domain

[1200 bonus update]

According to Earth's history, the discovery of chaos theory had consisted of several stages.

The first stage was when scientists from different fields discovered phenomena possessing chaotic properties.

During this stage, only one meteorologist had recognized the meaning of his equations before all the mathematicians had, recognizing the mathematical significance of chaos.

However, the paper in which meteorologist Edward Lorenz named the "Butterfly Effect" had received no attention after its completion. In fact, many people, including quite a few meteorologists, believed his paper was wrong.

The second stage was the cross-industry exchange that emerged with the dawn of the information age. Those individual scientists who had discovered chaotic phenomena gradually became connected.

Only the third stage saw the birth of chaos theory.

Yet chaos theory had deeper mathematical roots. Henri Poincaré launched an assault on the three-body problem and completed the initial work. Almost concurrently with him, Russian mathematician Alexander Lyapunov developed the Lyapunov exponent, a measure of the divergence trend of neighboring trajectories. Afterward, American mathematician Stephen Smale described the general topological conditions ensuring that a dynamical system approached a complex limit set. Finally, French mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot's fractals truly depicted strange attractors.

The Lorenz Attractor, with a dimensionality of roughly 2.07 dimensions, became the form of chaos remembered by the world.

That was Earth's history.

But the history of the Divine Land was somewhat unusual.

In Earth's history, the discoverers of those chaotic phenomena, including Edward Lorenz, the discoverer of the Lorenz equations, had not possessed top-tier mathematical ability. They did not understand Henri Poincaré's great achievements. Chaotic attractors had waved at them from piles of computer printouts in their offices, yet they could not comprehend them.

But because this world possessed the "Immortal Dao," the developmental history of this discipline was completely different from
