Abstract
Med en matematisk model over konkurrence mellem tre grupper illustreres, hvordan kaotiske systemer er fundamentalt begrænset i forudsigelighed. Små variationer i startbetingelser eller parametre fører til divergerende løsninger, selv i simple differentialligninger. Artiklen gennemgår numeriske eksempler, hvor systemer med næsten identiske udgangspunkter ender i helt forskellige stabile tilstande. Resultaterne kobles til vejrprognosers begrænsning og viser, hvorfor man i kaotiske systemer må acceptere en fundamental grænse for, hvor langt frem man kan forudsige.
