CHAOS AND GEOGRAPHY
Summary
The new principles put forward in the study of complex dynamic systems are known as the theory of chaos. Linear theory is too poor in its properties to support the manifold complexity of the real world. Irregularities in the landscape may also be the outcome of non-linearities. The theory of chaos offers an useful tool for geographic researches however its entire importance is not evaluated yet. Some cases of geographical researches, using fractal aspects for instance, are impressive.
