Tip-Off #193 – Traditional chaos

Before mathematicians could discover the complex patterns of randomness or meteorologists’ theorized butterfly effects, chaos was already weaved into human understanding of the universe. The ancient Greeks considered chaos as the primitive blank in which order appeared, but biblical tradition portrayed formless waters waiting for God’s mediation.

Throughout history, what appeared as obstacles to the human eye were often understood as part of the greater divine order. This is a transcendent pattern beyond normal understanding.

When modern chaos theory emerged in the second half of the 20th century, it did not merely introduce new mathematical models. It reconnected with this ancient intuition that obvious randomness could conceal deep structures. The apparent paradox of “deterministic chaos” – a system that follows strict rules but remains essentially unpredictable – echoes the theological concept of divine order that operates beyond human understanding. Modern understanding is different from the tools used to reveal hidden patterns within chaos rather than perceptions of chaos themselves.

But mathematics is not life, and life is not predictable. If so, there’s no need for art, music or literature. And love has no meaning. In the words of monk and poet Thomas Merton, “love is not a package,” we measure, barter and exchange.

Life has its inherent messiness, and a purely rational approach cannot be fully captured. Science continues to turn uncertainty into order into certainty and chaos, but this certainty remains constantly tentative and order can change. Scientific research is a Practical It processes without formal order and draws from various human cognitive and social resources.

Rather than “originality,” pragmatism is a scientific “method,” extending to other areas that are plagued by strict ideals. In law, despite being an appointee of the Republican Supreme Court, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. approached law as a tool of social utility rather than embodying timeless principles. Holmes’s approach is similar to the intentions of biblical errors, moralists who mistook personal views for absolutes, and religious fundamentalists who intended authoritarians who confused control with leadership.

When uncertainty replaces determinism, science is once again becoming a paradigm. The new password reflects this shift: “Black Hole”, “Quantum Entanglement”, “Multiverse”, “Infinite “Big Bangs” – a newly discovered deep sea creature that lacks the characteristics we associate with life. The Holy Grail of Artificial General Information brings unique confusion with recursive replication of data beyond measurement or control, simulating sensations in ways beyond understanding.

Because of religion, confusion can be seen in human language as an infinite manifestation of God’s infinite complexity and creativity. For artists, confusion is often inspiration. Many have long questioned the traditional notion of order. Most recently, Dadaist, Surrealist and Picasso. Few people consider chaos to be “good” teeth. Their message is, if it can be called it Face it.

From another angle, religious anthropologist Karen McCarthy Brown portrays Haiti Bodou, threatening this diasporic African religion that is still involved in millions of people today. She shows how this ancient tradition challenges modern trends that polarize concepts such as certainty and uncertainty, chaos, and order.

“If we can’t handle our own things, how can we deal with the division of the world?” Brown asks. Vodou Rituals embraces conflict “as an essential element of life.” Instead of seeking a solution, the ritual is enabled Balanser– In the context of Vodou, Creole words – dance between competing forces. Interactions between dezòd– disorder – and lòd– Order – Create the required space balance.

In the West, the word “chaos” usually means dangerous randomness. However, in Vodou, the same state is seen as a spiritually charged age when God interacts with people. Carrefour Or an intersection. These locations are places of not only confusion, but powerful change. This “metronome feeling” Balancer It constitutes Vodou’s spiritual goals. It remains stable as multiple rhythms pull in different directions. Healthy people move fluidly between the inner mind and the outer relationships, while maintaining a strong and adaptive sense of self.

Brown suggests that outsiders may first experience the healing powers of these rituals Polyrhythm drumming. Grateful dead drummer Mickey Hart found this when he realized that true listening polyrhythms mean recognizing them deep within himself.

Chaos is not a lack of order, but a true existence that goes against simplification. What we call chaos is a pattern we don’t recognize. Many events that seem random are actually the result of order. What we call random is the real thing.
