My math and physics is pretty weak, but it seems to me that this assertion is wrong: > Classically chaotic systems generate information over time. Really? Simply being chaotic does not preclude a system from being deterministic. Every future state of the system is "present" given the initial conditions, even if it isn't predictable. The situation is analogous to that of the digits of irrational numbers. I can't tell you a priori what the 2^1000th digit of pi is, but if I calculated for a million years I could find it out. It's not being "generated", it's just as much a part of pi as 3.14 is, just a little harder to access. There may be true non-determinism in nature, but it isn't necessary for a system to be considered chaotic.
