In other words, small differences in initial conditions (such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation) yield widely diverging outcomes, in general rendering long-term prediction impossible \cite{kellert1994wake}. This happens even though these systems are deterministic, meaning that their future behavior is fully determined by their initial conditions, with no random elements involved \cite{kellert1994wake}. That is, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable \cite{kellert1994wake,Werndl01032009}. This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos.
