Perhaps my objection to chaos is not allowing me to further ponder what is being said. My belief is there is no chaos; only sufficiently complex systems to befuddle mere humans. There is infinitely more we don't know than we do, so it's only natural to conclude that things happen because, random.
Chaos Theory is the tool to understand the zone between unchanging crystalline order and random entropy. That's where all the action is.

Chaos theory was born from observing weather patterns, but it has become applicable to a variety of other situations. Some areas benefiting from chaos theory today are geology, mathematics, microbiology, biology, computer science, economics,[64][65][66] engineering,[67] finance,[68][69] algorithmic trading,[70][71][72] meteorology, philosophy, anthropology,[11][12] physics,[73][74][75] politics, population dynamics,[76] psychology,[10] and robotics.
