Complicated by Nature
I find my mind keeps spinning until my brain grows weary
ever since I foolishly googled “chaos theory.”
While fatalists declare the world caught up in its rut,
the chaos theorists have theories I cannot rebut
wherein each thing duplicated differs from the last
because of other factors than the mold from which they’re cast.
And suddenly I have excuses for each thing I do.
Why my cake has fallen, and why my bras turned blue
the last time that I washed them the detergent was the same,
and yet something perhaps had changed–chaos theory is to blame!!!
Each snowflake varies from last, each flower is unique.
It seems that our creator demands a bit of tweak
in everything created. Chaos affects everything.
I guess that Mother Nature wants to keep it interesting!!!

Out of chaos comes order. A maxim, that is often used by secret handshake club. To justify their machinations. True none the less. Gotta’ love fractals though … Cheers Jamie

Yes I enjoy the reading that prompts sometime inspire.. I started to get into fractals and have read about them in the past. Must do more reading in that area.

The butterfly effect. Interesting theory. One little change can eventually have great consequences. Reminds me of why time travelers follow the prime directive. There’s another aspect also; that just the factor that there is an observer of an event, it changes the event. Maybe someone else was in the room when your cake fell. Ha ha!

Chaos Theory…two words I can embrace to explain so many unexpected outcomes. Perfect!

I don’t know about a chaos theory, but I definitely see individualism at work in nature as well as in outcomes. But thankfully there are still a lot of predictables, or all our clothes would be turning out “unexpectedly colorful.” 🙂
