 “Ordered Chaos” 🌀

Yes, this sounds very familiar. I feel as if we are predisposed to initiating order. The little bits of order we strive to obtain amidst a mysterious and uncertain whirlwind existence. Creating order and control brings us comfort, while chaos keeps us moving in the ever-evolving dance of life. There we oscillate between periods of creation and destruction. 

 

On Fractals as complex systems 🐚 

This makes me think of a kaleidoscope. Because the entire image is made up of repeated reflections, the entire image changes in unison as you spin it. Small, ever-evolving changes infinitely mirrored through the kaleidoscope of life. The microcosm and the Macrocosm progressing. 

“The eye is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary figure is repeated without end. It is the highest emblem in the cipher of the world…We are all our lifetime reading the copious sense of this first of forms.”—Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

Consciousness out of Chaos 🔗

Consciousness arises from a delicate balance of order and chaos.
