“Stochastic chaos” is really not a good way to put it. By using the word “stochastic” you prime the reader that you’re saying something technical, then the word “chaos” creates confusion, since chaos, by definition, is deterministic. I know they mean chaos in they lay sense, but then don’t use the word “stochastic”, just say "random".
I have a feeling OP used the phrase as a nod to "stochastic terrorism", which would make sense in this instance.
Right. It captures the destabilizing effect of stochastic terrorism, without the terroristic intent. It’s a neat phrase.
Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to get at.
That would have been a lot less confusing.
The word "stochastic" in relation to chaos is a thing though. It helps distinguish between closed and open systems.
I don't think this is correct.
