Chaos and order need each other. Without one, the other cannot be.

I think also, they intertwine. Both can be good and positive, and both destructive and negative.

Take the ocean. The waves fall in seemingly chaotic random ways, yet are actually ordered by the tide, and by longer term ordered patterns of mass movement around the globe. Chaos in that case, exists within order. Yet the entire galaxy, though consisting of planets and suns that revolve around each other in ordered fashion, are moving outward in a chaotic fashion - that contains some order, due to the concept of expansion.

I see both as being inseperable. Parts of the same thing. Human behaviour can be random, and chaotic, yet all behaviour is part of ordered causes and functionality.

I think.....
