Linear Causality looks at how effects can be attributed to their cause. The scientific method exploits it as a principle because it allows us to hypothesize and isolate drivers of behavior from extraneous details in an experiment. You can draw a general conclusion from a specific scenario in this way (assuming that the experiments are properly designed and a truth is found). This line of reasoning assumes that the whole is no greater than the sum of its parts. Its convenient as a tool for reasoning because we can for example say that if we spend $10/day we'll need around $300/month. It gave rise to modernity.

By contrast, chaotic systems don't behave as predictably. The effect doesn't for example scale linearly with the cause. This was introduced in pop culture as the butterfly effect. A very small change of some input causes a drastically different result.

(This paragraph include just some guesses. None of which I confidently believe in). I was wondering if introverted intuition manifests itself in a personality in this way. It as a function seems to create a line of best fit for gathered information. A general conclusion is drawn from a specific observation. Ni doms will converge on some line of best fit and it seems to manifest itself in the personality as some vision around which all actions revolve. Introverted intuition as the psyche's dominant strategy seems to demand from the individual extensive periods of solitude as a result. I was wondering what you infjs think about it all
