More generally, when a nonchaotic system is disturbed slightly, the disturbance either doesn't grow at all or else grows very mildly, increasing in proportion to how much time has passed. One says that the errors grow no faster than linearly in time.

The amount of time we can successfully predict the state of a chaotic system depends on three things: how much error we're willing to tolerate in the forecast; how precisely we can measure the initial state of the system; and a time scale that's beyond our control, called the Lyapunov time, which depends on the inherent dynamics of the system itself.

In a chaotic system, the required precision in the initial measurement grows exponentially, not linearly.
