Chaos
"Does order come out of chaos?"
When someone asked Feynman this question, he was stumped, unable to answer. But, there's this wonderful paper ( The Arnold Cat-Map ) that shows that order ( or more specifically, order that once was ) can be made chaotic and vice-versa. This paper applies only for images though. But, there's one thing bothering me. Since chaos derives from order itself, isn't it just order, but in a more abstract form? In this case, all that seperates chaos and order is a set of equations. It's exactly like saying energy equals c squared times mass. They're one and the same entity. Just different forms. Only here, c squared evaluates to the result of the matrix, that's all. So it's not exactly chaos if it comes out of order, is it? Which throws up another interesting question. Where does chaos originate? Who gives it birth, feeds electricity through its mangled brains and screams hysterically, "It's ALIVE!!! IT'S ALIVE!!!!?" Definitely not order, I know that much.
