This is 'deterministic chaos' or usually 'chaos theory'. The chaos is present even in problems that can be described in exact mathematics and are

The research on liquidity suggests two implications for finance that are both quite profound, the first area relates to the pricing models based on Black-Scholes, the second to the pricing of shares under the CAPM. Almost all modern option pricing theory is based on the Black-Scholes model, or other closely-

Their continued use seems to emanate from the development of the Ito stochastic calculus that facilitated the development of the famous Black-Scholes equation used to model financial derivatives.
