Glossary – chaos

Wow … defining the chaos, not an easy thing to do, maybe impossible Wikipedia say’s:

Chaos (derived from the Greek Χάος, Chaos) typically refers to unpredictabilit. The word χάος did not mean “disorder” in classical-period ancient Greece. It meant “the primal emptiness, space“. It is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root ghn or ghen meaning “gape, be wide open”: compare “chasm” (from Greek χάσμα), and Anglo-Saxon gānian (“yawn”), geanian, ginian (“gape wide”); see also Old Norse Ginnungagap. Due to people misunderstanding early Christian uses of the word, the meaning of the word changed to “disorder”. (The Ancient Greek for “disorder” is ταραχή.). Mathematically chaos means an aperiodic deterministic behavior which is very sensitive to its initial conditions, i.e., infinitesimal perturbations of boundary conditions for a chaotic dynamic system originate finite variations of the orbit in the phase space; see chaos theory.

So now that’s set, and the definition is there for all to see, way bother confronting it?

Well a few day’s ago, I told my sister about this blog, and talking about the subject at hand, I laid about my Chaos Theory and our life’s in it. It didn’t take much time for her to ask me whether I have a solution to the problem, of Chaos in our life’s, and then it came to me, that not all see the chaos the way I do. In about than same time I read a post “What business are you in?” by Yaron, and that raised the question “What chaos do you know?”

Mentioning the chaos in different people’s ears would bring up different perspectives in to the nature of the Chaos.
Some see it as the outcome of anarchy- a world with no rules.
AS mentioned in the Wikipedia definition Christianity, looked at chaos as disorder.
When describing the behavior of near field RFID in a lecture about RFID, the lecturer got upset to the mentioning of the phrase in this scientific context.

So, what is my chaos? …
Answering that is impossible for me. Like defining God, we can only say what he isn’t. The same is with the Chaos. Actually thinking about it …. Chaos is my God. It’s not the kind you should worship or be scared of, it’s the kind that in some magical way, makes the world that way it is. Similar to physics, in which everything can one day happened due to the collision of 2 atoms, everything can happened given the right circumstances.

For conclusion, what I can say is that chaos isn’t a bad thing! it’s the divine perfection.
