lol imagine being a mathematician who goes up to people like “yeah that’s right i study chaos theory 😎 actually i study quantum chaos 😎😎 you probably haven’t heard of it 😎😎😎”
(actually i think a mathematician would just say “dynamical systems” but who knows)

chaos theory also has an even edgier little brother named catastrophe theory. poor baby. he tries so hard

"loose collection of ideas and results on the instability and criticality of dynamical systems"-theory not punchy enough?

My former company president, who is a world class mathematician (headed the math dept in Stanford for a number of years), responded to a question by a prospect, and shed new and very satisfying light for me on the sociology of chaos theory as a field.
