hurrellcane

A rare biogenetical anomaly, first entered the universe in the late 80's. A hurrellcane can be define as a human or as an inanimate object. In a human form its charactoristics are of superhuman ability, the hurrellcane was symbolic of the many tough anti-authority anti-heroes that emerged in American popular culture after the Vietnam War.

It is believed that the hurrellcane was formed during the initiation of the choas theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a nonlinear dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. So this is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems.

The phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different.
