    MTV -

    I agree with the theory that the formed universe was preceded by chaos. But now, as far as we can peer into the formed universe it has structure. Beyond our limits, chaos can still be present, especially if the theory of an expanding universe is true. Basically, there would/could be chaos beyond the reach of the current expansion. Closer to home, I think the universe that we know is at best, random. However, even in a random environment, there is no chaos (IMO).

    I think the concept of absolute is as furthest as there is to the concept of a chaos in the mind, and all that a chaos might in its jumbles contain can be anything, but absolute.

    The fact that absolutes mean to go beyond human sense of meaningfulness should not be made into a reason for it to be confused with something entirely disorderly, as where there is disorder visible there too are the potential for order, as the visibility being the first sing or seed for order. The things as under human observation, as for the purpose of understanding, might not be chaotic within, but merely by the reasons of observation, the without. I believe the entire existence has certain meaningfulness and therefore nothing in its nature is chaotic, but where we lack in our knowledge, ability or understand.

    A chaos becomes visible when it is being seen through, across to the other end, when it persists as a gulf between two orders. For instance when present like a bridge spanning some deep chasm between two high mountain ridges. There would be no visibility of the possibility of a bridge the view did not contain two eminences on either sides to start with.

    I find its easy to further the relation between chaos and absolute if I imagine life, i.e. if I imagine a life to be chaotic then I could see how human ideals can serve as distant beacons across foggy stretches of sea, or some hope visible from across greatest void of human existence in time. We often find hope, faith, courage, perseverance, when we are able to see through a chaotic circumstance of our life, when we have our eyes fixed in observance of our spiritual ideal for instance.

    I realise that this has been a great question, with ideas so deep and immense, that I like to lake my liberty in saying that this, what I have jotted down, are merely speculative thoughts of mine that might further change and develop.

    Yes, chaos is an absolute. "Absolute" means that there is no possibility of taking something further (like infinity). Likewise (true) chaos cannot be made more chaotic.

    Nature of chaos is chaotic - under some sort of hidden order.

    Chaos seems to be neither absolute nor relative; being both and none.

    disorder is not an absolute as by being disordered it as no infinite shape or purpose .therefore chaos is not an absolute it is disorder.

    hope this helps
