    Spontaneous order, also named self-organization in the hard sciences, is the spontaneous emergence of order out of seeming chaos. The term "self-organization" is more often used for physical changes and biological processes, while "spontaneous order" is typically used to describe the emergence of various kinds of social orders in human social networks from the behavior of a combination of self ...

    In other words, the deterministic nature of these systems does not make them predictable. [11] [12] This behavior is known as deterministic chaos, or simply chaos. The theory was summarized by Edward Lorenz as: [13] Chaos: When the present determines the future but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.

    In chaos magic, following Spare, sigils are commonly created in a well ordered fashion by writing an intention, then condensing the letters of the statement down to form a sort of monogram. The chaos magician then uses the gnostic state to "launch" or "charge" the sigil—essentially bypassing the conscious mind to implant the desire in the ...

    Experimental control of chaos by one or both of these methods has been achieved in a variety of systems, including turbulent fluids, oscillating chemical reactions, magneto-mechanical oscillators and cardiac tissues. [6] attempt the control of chaotic bubbling with the OGY method and using electrostatic potential as the primary control variable.
