Constant and Change. Two words with opposite meaning and yet one can be used
to describe the other.

Chaos, Order and Arrow of Time?

[_helga]

Roughly speaking, the discovery of chaos seems to imply that randomness lurks
at the core of any deterministic model of the universe. Because of this fact,
some scientists have begun to question whether or not it is meaningful at all
to say that the universe is deterministic in its behavior.

One of the most interesting issues in the study of chaotic systems is whether
or not the presence of chaos may actually produce ordered structures and
patterns on a larger scale. Some scientists have speculated that the presence
of chaos---that is, randomness operating through the deterministic laws of
physics on a microscopic level---may actually be necessary for larger scale
physical patterns to arise. Some have come to believe that the presence of
chaos in physics is what gives the universe its "arrow of time," the
irreversible flow from the past to the future.

HIhih. And here you've got a visualisation of a - surprise:) An Unexpected,
that DOES NOT come out smoothly out of the previous state. That's what you can
place exactly in between The Constant (chaos) and The Change (Order). It's
called a bifurcation.

Quite right about questioning being meaningful...

More than ever!
