There are advantages and disadvantages to chaos in life, art, culture... I'm giving a talk on Chaos tomorrow and I know that my friends on OpEdNews can help me flesh it out.

::::::::

Tomorrow, I'm doing an invited talk at Pebble Hill Church on Chaos in our lives. I'm still researching. Any thoughts on chaos, non-linear dynamical models, etc.

What's the opposite of chaos? What are the benefits of chaos?

I'll be mentioning Prigogine, who won a Nobel prize for showing that, with chemical reactions, after chaotic, high energy activity, higher levels of order often emerge.

And in medicine, chaotic signal patterns are healthier-- when signals become static or very repetitive that is an indication, in EKG, for example of a poorer prognosis for survival.  

Thoughts on fractal politics? Strange attractors and voter patterns?

add your two cents worth.
