That is in addition to what we call "chaos theory" that relates to tiny changes in the initial conditions that amplify with time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory
Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics and an interdisciplinary area of scientific study. It focuses on underlying patterns and deterministic laws of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. These were once thought to have completely random states of disorder and irregularities.[1] The theory states that within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, interconnection, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals and self-organization.[2] The butterfly effect, an underlying principle of chaos, describes how a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state (meaning there is sensitive dependence on initial conditions).[3] A metaphor for this behavior is that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause or prevent a tornado in Texas

AI Overview
Adding salt lowers the freezing and melting point of water below 32°F (0°C) through a process called freezing point depression. The salt dissolves in a microscopic liquid film on the ice, and its ions disrupt water molecules from bonding into solid ice. A 10% salt solution freezes at roughly 20°F (-6°C), a 20% solution drops to 2°F (-16°C), and the lowest possible eutectic point for a sodium chloride brine is about -6°F (-21°C). How the Process Works
