[MD] Crystallising Chaos.

[Platt Holden]

I haven't been following this thread as closely as I should, so if this 
question has been asked and answered, please refer me to the 
appropriate post.

The question: Instead of chaos being thought of as a state of being, 
rather could it be defined as whatever is too complex for us humans to 
know?

The following from Case seems to suggest the answer may be yes.

"As the rain falls faster the osprey flies home to nest, the 
grasshoppers hop away satisfied and the surface of the post becomes 
INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO CALCULATE. Harmonies are broken.
Chaos ensues." (caps added for emphasis) 

Beyond our ability to calculate, chaos reigns. In other words, chaos is 
another word for our ignorance. What appears to us as chaos may indeed 
by finely structured, organized and purposeful. We're just too limited -
- physically, mentally or spiritually -- to perceive it.

I wonder. When it comes to chaos, we may be like the fish who when 
asked how he liked the ocean answered, "What ocean?"
