Relating to Chaos Theory, the term "butterfly effect" relates to the tiniest of influences leading to large differences in deterministic nonlinear systems. One incarnation of the saying suggests that one flap of a single butterfly's wings in Beijing might change the weather in New York. (Perhaps you remember Jurassic Park's Ian Malcolm waxing about Chaos Theory in advance of the park's inevitable meltdown.)
We're not spending much time on the hard science of Chaos Theory. This show is more interested in the stories - the human stories - about the small intersections of life, the tiny changes, the unexpected encounters which changed the trajectory of people's lives.
What was a moment or encounter which seemed inconsequential at the moment, but ultimately came to re-frame and re-define you?
