RC Question 23 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: The discussion of the chaos of physical systems is intended …

DISCUSSION: Chaos is discussed at the end of paragraph 4. It is contrasted with the unpredictability found in Sommerer and Ott’s model.

In chaos, general outcomes remain predictable even if specific details are not. But in their model, predictability completely breaks down and even the general outcome is uncertain. So this distinction helps us highlight how extreme the unpredictability in their model is.

___________

1. There’s no comparison on the number of physical irregularities. It’s more about how unpredictability works differently.
2. It doesn’t mention the types of physical irregularities.
3. We don’t know the percentage.
4. CORRECT. Their model is even more unpredictable than chaos.
5. That’s not the purpose.
