Theory Briefing
- A 2006 episode of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy pairs herbicide mania with chaos theory in its very title.
- Chaos Theory holds that small initial disturbances — like a rogue weed-killer — can cascade into wildly unpredictable system-wide outcomes.
- The show's anarchic premise, where children boss Death himself around, is itself a textbook illustration of sensitive dependence on initial conditions.
