Lorenzo Monarch and Tiger Moth discuss theories
Lorenzo: You’ve heard of the
butterfly effect?
Tiger Moth: You’re telling
me that Monarchs rule the world? That one flap of your wings here in Mexico and
you set off a maelstrom in Mauritius?
Lorenzo: Chain of events
sets off a crisis far away. Chaos theory.
Tiger Moth: And you’ll be
aware of catastrophe theory?
Lorenzo: A steady state that
suddenly experiences change? It’s a branch of chaos theory.
Tiger Moth: Have you thought
about how these apply to us? Today we choose to sip nectar from this bush, the
bird misses us and we live. Tomorrow, we sip nectar from the next bush, the
bird sees us and we’re dead. Catastrophe.

Lorenzo Monarch is good at
giving definitions. An abstract ability. Tiger Moth excels at giving examples. And
makes it personal. But can either of them solve non-linear equations?
