The theory, in short, that all systems, no matter how chaotic, eventually come to order in the end.

What are your thoughts on this theory?

I don't think it's that chaos comes to order. More like there are patterns in chaotic systems. They were still dealing with unrepeating systems.

Anyway, chaos theory is very Marxist!

I thought (and still do think) that Chaos Theory describes how everything is Chaotic and small changes can result in large differences. (So if 1000+1000=2000, 1001+1001 might equal 4363.)

I can't remember if it is the same idea enthropy increasing forever. Which I guess if it is maybe order does come out of chaos.

There is order to organic patterns, but also randomness. I look to Einstien's work with Chaos theory in a sense in his quest to find the hidden order of the universe, he found much to his delight that as much as Chaos theory pointed to an order it also pointed to no order and could not be interpreted due to randomness that was unfathomable :D It was the big joke that made him chuckle so at the end.

He especially loved the fact that so many of his collegues continued to search for conclusive proof of "God's order" but to Einstein it was this randomness and supposed incongruity that made it so profound, and organic.

are you saying that chaos ends in order or that chaos has a order within it?

why not use this thread as an example? It appears to be a little bit

And that random thing was also influenced by something.

The most random thing is the choice in the whole equation. We are the ones with the choice, what we base it on depends to a big perscent, but if we act on the choice or dont act, either way it can have a great impact.
