During the 1970s and '80s, "chaos" began to emerge as a new scientific
paradigm, on a level of importance with Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
It was born out of the mixing of many different sciences -weather prediction,
Catastrophe Theory, fractal geometry, and the rapid development of computer
graphics capable of plunging into the depths of fractals and "strange
attractors; "hydraulics and fluid turbulence, evolutionary biology,
mind/brain studies and psychopharmacology also played major roles in forming
the new paradigm. The slogan "order out of chaos" summed up the gist of this
science, whether it studied the weird fractional-dimensional shapes
underlying sworls of cigarette smoke or the distribution of colors in
marbled paper -or else dealt with "harder" matters such as heart
fibrillation, particle beams or population vectors. However, by the
late '80s it began to appear as if this "chaos movement" had split apart
into two opposite and hostile world-views, one placing emphasis on chaos
itself, the other on order. According to the latter sect -the
Determinists -chaos was the enemy, randomness a force to be overcome or
denied. They experienced the new science as a final vindication of
Classical Newtonian physics, and as a weapon to be used against chaos,
a tool to map and predict reality itself. For them, chaos was death and
disorder, entropy and waste. The opposing faction however experienced
chaos as something benevolent, the necessary matrix out of which arises
spontaneously an infinity of variegated forms -a pleroma rather than an
abyss -a principle of continual creation, unstructured, fecund, beautiful,
spirit of wildness. These scientists saw chaos theory as vindication of
Quantum indeterminacy and Godel's Proof, promise of an open-ended universe,
Cantorian infinities of potential...chaos as health.
