holy krap, DJ have you actually watched JP or read the book?
The whole idea behind Ian's character in the context of the 'judgement' for Hammond was that chaos theory explains that even though you create a set pattern with guidelines and rules around the very idea of nature itself it eventually breaks. If you lock up a species of animal and deny them the ability to mate then no matter how hard you try, the only course of action is that the animals will find a way to mate and break free of the island. Then, in the discussion of fractals as indirect plot, that doing the same thing over and over eventually creates change, the dinosaur DNA adapted and allowed them to mate. Then nature itself revealed its chaotic nature and destroyed the man-made fences and park systems completely destroying any set patterns or control.
