Unpredictability and information systems

You are living your life and making your plans based on the information you have available.
As long as no new information arises, you don’t change your plans.
When new information arises, you adjust the plan.
When you adjust your plan, you start to act differently, which impacts the plans of others.
Others then need to adjust their own plans – because you acting differently is = new information for their plans.
A snowball effect of changes is created; it’s a system that feeds back on itself with infinite feedback.
The origin of an unpredictable world may simply lie in the availability of information.
Unpredictability will then grow with our information systems until it reaches a point of perfect information, when everything stabilizes.
