1. Ordered Chaos seems like western life itself. Life seems to always be overscheduled with productive events that leave me running from one thing to another in a state of chaotic frenzy. ;0) That's what ordered chaos in the more negative sense. On the other hand, nature is a consistant example of ordered chaos. Nothing in nature has a linear sense of order to it, yet everything has its purpose and interconnectness.
2. Fractals exemplify odered chaos. The patterns are so complex and grandiose, yet they seem to have a patterned theme to them as the pattern builds on itself. They get more and more complex as the system gets larger.
3. Conciousness out of chaos....... hmmm. On one sense, nature again is a great example of this. With its constantly changing states comes the conciousness that makes up life itself. Humans are not always concious of this due to the chaotic way that we run around doing rather than being. Chaos keeps us on our toes though. Change keeps us from getting static, it keeps the mind flexible and offers us an opportunity to keep aware of how life is unfolding in front of us.
I LOVE this: "Ordered chaos seems like Western life itself." I totally agree and especially with the interconnections and purpose. Jenny
