Municipal Chaos: How Chaos Theory Explains Cyberattacks Against Smart City Architectures

When a linear act leads to non-linear results, it’s chaos. That’s not a figure of speech. Non-linear behaviors that result from an otherwise linear and deterministic system underpin chaos theory, a fascinating branch of mathematics and life sciences that results in amazing insights into our world. It shows how tiny actions in an otherwise linear system can cause dramatic effects and even outcomes that we cannot otherwise predict.
