The butterfly effect is a property of chaotic systems by which small changes in initial conditions can lead to large-scale and unpredictable variation in the future state of the system. The idea that the death of one butterfly could eventually have a far-reaching ripple effect on subsequent historical events made its earliest known appearance in “A Sound of Thunder”, a 1952 short story by Ray Bradbury. This can also happen in a divorce where a party wishes to change a small thing in the settlement agreement but which ultimately has a far-reaching ripple effect on the parties. The parties must be careful what they wish for. Learn more about #mediation at https://www.center-divorce-mediation.com CDM (385) 9/15/21
