While tracking a molecule in a cloud would be a chaotic system. The movement of the cloud itself and the inevitable rainfall is much easier to predict.
Chaos Theory often comes with the "butterfly effect" imagery, but rain and rain-adjacent symbolism like umbrellas and rainbows are a close second.
Another pop culture influence might be Tom Clancy. His books, and endorsed video games, typically involve weaponized viruses or missile threats. So you have titles like Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory, related to global pandemics and the unpredictability of how countries respond to small conflicts.
In FF8, you definitely have a missle crisis and a loose idea of how countries like Timber or Trabia are meant to respond. For example, when Trabia goes to war all its citizens are conscripted, that would probably include Selphie. Who is briefly unavailable after returning.
This is to force you to go to Balamb first, after gaining control of the garden, Squall will refuse to visit Trabia without Selphie who is "sleeping".
There's nothing critical about visiting Balamb first. It's just that we see Galbadia Garden is also mobile now. And that they're looking for Ellone. Then in Trabia Garden we get the Orphanage Recollection scene. But there's nothing about Trabia that made it happen. They could have had the same conversation in Balamb Garden or anywhere else.
And the game completely forgets about liberating Timber from Galbadia control.
There's definitely a missing scenerio where Zone and Watts join the White SeeD ship. Perhaps they were there when the garden was adrift and they picked up Ellone. The fact that Rinoa has a unique FMV if she is there and not the missle base, suggest the writers intended her to stay with Squall. And she could have left with Ellone, to join the Forest Owls.
