Is chaos theory less like the chaos we perceive?

Chaos in the "chaos theory" is just science saying that they don't know how it happens, that there are far too many variables to accurately predict an outcome.

Chaos among humans as in "Pandy" is basically the result of conflicting ideology's that create tension that needs to be resolved, and unless it is resolved internally within the mind, it is expressed and attempted to be resolved externally, thru outbursts of anger or physical violence.

Chaos in the Universe does not exist, it is only a definition, a concept, an Ideal and has no real existence.

Chaos that is produced by human behaviour is also a definition and concept, it too has no real existence. It only exists as chaos because we perceive it as chaos. But Neither is it order too, it is just something that is doing what it does, finding its own path. to label it as one thing or another is foolish because whatever it is depends on perception.

Is the reward crate on MW2 Green or Red? it's colour is dependant on which ever team your on, how can it be green and red at the same time? It can't, in which case neither colour actually exists, its our perception that determines reality.

People tend to have given a definition to the word "chaos" that doesn't really exist in reality.

The term "isotropic antenna" exists, but the definition of one could never exist in the real world. Same is true of "chaos".

There is no such thing as "random" either.

So "random chaos" really makes no sense at all.

So there really is no answer to your question. It is something you shouldn't waste anymore time thinking about.

"Chaos theory" is a scientific discipline in the field of physics, developed in the latter half of the 20th century. Chaos theory identifies underlying patterns in wave patterns and ripples as shallow water washes over sand; patterns in the leaf patterns of a field of evergreen trees; patterns in the path of a pinball in a pinball machine; etc.

The chaos in the chaos theory is referring not to man made actions, such as outbursts or noise, but rather man himself. Life itself is considered chaotic, wandering. The ultimate goal is balance.
