The blockchain algorithm underlying Bitcoin is a hashing tree algorithm, akin to random forests.
It models the outcome like the branches of a tree develop. If on step n you just move a bit away you can end up with a totally different outcome.
Actually, this nonlinear modelling of jump processes is a random tree model, which is used for decades in financial options valuation.
Jumps ensure dynamic systems modelling or even chaos modelling.
In short, Bitcoin has remarkable agility, flexibility, durability and anti-fragility built in.
Quite remarkable.
