"Ordered Chaos" - does this sound familiar? As we live in a world that is not considered "linear" or perfect in shapes, chaos helps us to understand and comprehend things better. An example that was mentioned previously was the weather. This is one element that is constantly changing, and unpredictable - despite all the complicated instruments that are used.
Fractals as patterns of complex systems
Fractals mirror our world in that they form irregular shapes. Mathematicians have learned that although fractals looked like they couldn't be understood or measured, they have learned through fractal geometry how to approach the fractals. This could be applied towards other areas in our life. Experiences that seem complex and not capable of being understood, are possible, when looked at in either a different way, or taking it apart in small pieces so that the whole can be understood better.
Consciousness out of chaos?
I'm sure that at times, we have all thought that our own world was in complete chaos. Nothing was making sense, peace and/or order does not seem to be possible in the near future. It's during these times that life seems to be moving faster and faster, with no thought of slowing down. It's during these times that I have learning to take myself outside of the situation and look at it from an outside point of view. I notice that when I do this, I can begin to separate my emotions from the situation and begin to see other ways of looking at the situation - and possible ways of looking at problem solving.
