The Lorenz system is a system of ordinary differential equations first studied by mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz. It is notable for having chaotic solutions for certain parameter values and initial conditions. In particular, the Lorenz attractor is a set of chaotic solutions of the Lorenz system. In popular media the butterfly effect stems from the real-world implications of the Lorenz attractor, namely that several different initial chaotic conditions evolve in phase space in a w
