If chaos could be characterized by one word, it would be “complexity”. Even with the greatest of efforts, a finite sequence cannot accurately describe chaos. Chaos can be perfectly represented only in an infinite sequence. Several problems stemming from the discrepancy between this infiniteness and the finiteness of observation and description will be discussed later, but here we briefly touch upon it.
