CHOAS – AV2 THEORY

-
Chaos – Book

James Gleick’s book ‘Chaos-Making a new science’ is worth reading.

Chaos – Definition

Chaos theory is that branch of mathematics which studies the behavior of certain dynamical systems that may be highly sensitive to initial conditions. As a result of this sensitivity, which manifests itself as an exponential growth of error, the behavior of chaotic systems appears to be random. That is, tiny differences in the starting state of the system can lead to enormous differences in the final state of the system even over fairly small timescales. This gives the impression that the system is behaving randomly.

Chaos – Example

Start a cue ball rolling on a perfect billiard table. It will bounce off the cushions without any loss of energy. The ball follows the laws of mechanics and is predictable. An analysis says one can put ten cue balls in play and they will all follow the same path. OK, let’s say one starts adding more cue balls. However, the eighth ball starts at a slower speed. As it careens of the second cushion, it is clipped by another cue ball. In the blink of an eye, the cue balls are now bouncing off of each other and chaos reigns on the table. The point of this example is that chaos is a human perception. The balls are still following the laws of mechanics.

In Gleik’s book he states that Joseph Ford said, “God plays dice with the universe.” This statement is incorrect. The logical Beings, God2, who created our physical universe, left nothing to chance. Theirs was an intelligent design.

Chaos -- Questions

Gleick’s book is about mathematicians who work with fractals and nonlinear systems. They seem to be working on the horizon of our knowledge. While this is impressive, it raises ‘what’ and ‘why’ questions. The purpose of our universe is to teach illogical Beings how to reason logically. So, what are such logical reasoning people doing in our universe?

It may be that there is more to one’s existence than eddies, symbols and equal signs. Ethics and fine arts may be more important that we give them credit.

Also, why are they looking at chaos problems when a more important problem is right in front of them, our flat Earth number system? There are many things in our universe that cycle, and we should have a cyclic number system, but that is another topic.

Nevertheless, these mathematicians are trying to reason logically, and that it what they are suppose to do. However, they seem to be working on the symptoms and not the nature of the problems.
