    Supports→Chaos models provide limited but important predictive insight, not a complete failure of prediction.

    Detailed predictions of individual trajectories fail rapidly for chaotic models when there is any error in the specification of the initial state.

    Regarding (1), detailed predictions regarding individual trajectories fail rather rapidly for chaotic models when there is any error in specification of the initial state. So, says Kellert, instead we predict global behaviors of models and have an account of limited predictability in chaotic models. But many of these behaviors can be precisely predicted (e.g., control parameter values[9] at which various bifurcations occur, the onset of chaos, the return of n-periodic orbits). (1) amounts to i
