You think that it would be difficult to show that human behavior has sensitive dependence upon initial conditions? Given that behavior is the consequence of electrochemical activity in the brain, and the brain is an adaptive organ which is molded by every experience it is exposed to... how could you possibly avoid an extreme dependence on initial conditions?

No, I think it would be difficult to show that human behavior meets the formal definition of chaotic. > ... how could you possibly avoid an extreme dependence on initial conditions? To see the problem, imagine proving that human behavior is not sensitively dependent on initial conditions. It's not about whether it's so, it's only about demonstrating it to the satisfaction of a scientist.
