Ontic and epistemic descriptions of chaotic systems

摘要: Traditional philosophical discourse draws a distinction between ontology and epistemology generally enforces this by keeping the two subject areas separated unrelated. In addition, relationship is of central importance to physics philosophy physics. For instance, all kinds measurement-related problems force us consider both our knowledge states observables system (epistemic perspective) its independent such (ontic perspective). This applies quantum systems in particular. contribution we present an example which shows distinguishing ontic epistemic levels description even for classical systems. Corresponding conceptions their evolution will be introduced discussed with respect aspects stability information flow. These show why ontic/epistemic particularly important exhibiting deterministic chaos. Moreover, provides some understanding relationships determinism, causation, predictability, randomness, stochasticity chaotic
