Edward Lorenz, the father of chaos theory passed away at 90 years of age.  His theory is colloquially known as “The Butterfly Effect” but is more properly referred to as: ‘deterministic chaos’.  Basically put, it’s the idea that if you take simple building blocks and allow them to self complicate, you get behaviour that is essentially random.

I had heard of Lorenz but never researched his work.  The similarities to my own research in prime numbers are encouraging.  I also speak of a notion of determinism cross recursive self complication as being random. 

Lorenz’s work has a good summation here:
