Certain nonlinear dynamical systems exhibit stretching and folding (confinement) of trajectories, no trajectory crossings, and aperiodic orbits

One of the exciting features of SDIC is that there is no lower limit on just how small some change or perturbation can be—the smallest of effects will eventually be amplified up affecting the behavior of any system exhibiting SDIC. A number of authors have argued that chaos through SDIC opens a door for quantum mechanics to “infect” chaotic classical mechanics systems (e.g., Hobbs 1991; Barone et al. 1993; Kellert 1993; Bishop 2008). [7] The essential point is that the nature of particular kind
