Subject: RE: BS: Chaos, Intuition, and Nonlinear Dynamics
How does a thread on chaos stay on topic?
My feeling is we all think laterally and can make those leaps of connection, we do it with humour, we do it when we are stranded and desperate, and we do it in dreams!
However I find there are people who are far more comfortable with rules and guidelines and not with "disorder". eg Appearances cf Frivolity.
you see it quite markedly with folk dancing, there are the squares and contra, the Playford, (& yes Morris) who need pattern and are drawn to the genre that provides it and then the ceilidh nuts who improvise deliberately in bizarre variations around the "instructions". Which one is better? The one I like of course. What do you like?
