Pretty soon too. I love programming simulations of chaotic systems. One thing that they all seem to have in common is that there’s a very fine line between fairly stable chaos and absolutely runaway crazy chaos. It’s something that scientists call the edge of chaos. That’s where our world and all life on it thrives. We have to be right on the knifes edge between order and disorder for complexity to emerge and stabilize.

Push the system slightly too far in one direction and things spiral out of control VERY quickly. It’s not going to slowly get worse for decades… it’s going to slowly get worse then BOOM… things will get really fucking bad really fucking fast.
