Week 7

“Ordered chaos” – does this sound familiar?
  
Chaos is around us everywhere we look. From the streets to even my living room. I think that ordered chaos is scientists way of putting a grasp on the unexplainable.  In the western world, we like to solve and analyze everything, from medicine to math. Further understanding how the world can function in chaos is just a way to further examine how the world works.  When I think of ordered chaos, I think of a lot of people's houses/rooms. It may look like a mess to any other person, but to the person who's belongings are everywhere, they know exactly where everything it is.

Fractals as patterns of complex systems
 A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos.  While they're lovely to look at, the whole system behind them still confuses me.
 
Consciousness out of chaos?

As stated before, I think chaos is a constant factor in our lives. Even if it doesn't seem chaotic, it is. In a typical day, we do a lot of things! Grooming ourselves, eating, talking, listening, studying, working, etc. Time always goes forward, and we're constantly moving/thing about the next step.  While we might not be conscious of our every move that we make (breathing, blinking, etc) we should step back and try to make sense of the "chaos" that we're experiencing. 

 Experiments
I tried a few of the experiments but none of them really worked for some reason =(
