Is that true in chaos theory though? Are there mathematical ways to create and predict dynamic systems with behavior that is truly bound within certain parameters?
There was some hype about this in the 90s, but not much seems to have come from it in terms of practical applications. However it is really cool from a theoretical perspective, and some of the experiments (IIRC precisely controlling chaotic contraction patterns in heart tissue from rabbits in vitro) were also really interesting.
