Bifurcal

/baɪˈfɜːrkəl/ adjective

Definition

Etymology

From Latin 'bifurcus' (forked) + '-al' (suffix). This is a less common variant of terms describing the process or characteristic of splitting into two parts.

Kelly Says

The bifurcal point in chaos theory is where a simple system suddenly becomes complex—change one tiny variable and instead of one stable outcome, the system splits into two possible futures, teaching us that complexity comes from simplicity.
