Boundedness (Japanese reading: yukaisei) in chaos theory means the system's state (trajectory) continues to remain within a finite region of phase space without diverging to infinity. The importance of boundedness in chaos • Preventing divergence: Even if sensitivity to initial values irregularly separates trajectories greatly, they do not fly off infinitely throughout space. • Necessary condition for chaos: phenomena that are merely irregular and unpredictable but whose variables diverge are not considered chaos; boundedness, continuing to wander within a finite range, is essential. • Strange attractors: Because of boundedness, trajectories remain confined around particular limited, complex structures (attractors), tracing beautiful fractal shapes.
