The Butterfly in Brooklyn
The model is beautifully complex. From my vantage point on this rooftop, I can see the threads. A courier, late for a delivery, runs a red light. A simple act of impatience. This causes a taxi to swerve, which in turn splashes a puddle of filthy water onto a stockbroker's pristine suit. The broker, enraged by this small indignity, will miss his train. He will not be at the meeting to advise against the merger.
They call it the butterfly effect. A simplistic metaphor. They see a fragile insect; we see the engine of creation. Every action, every choice, is a weight placed on the scale. The Templars try to keep the scale perfectly balanced. The Illuminati pile their side with gold. We? We just add a single, calculated grain of sand and watch.
My part was small. I bumped into the courier this morning, 'accidentally' knocking his coffee from his hand. The five minutes he spent buying another was all it took. The model predicted the rest. A multi-billion-dollar corporation will collapse next month because of a spilled latte.
It's not about good or evil. It's about opening the system to new possibilities. It's about seeing what happens when you cut one, single, seemingly unimportant thread. It's about chaos. And chaos... is beautiful.
