Chaos means clutter, conflict, disturbance and disorder in daily language. The root from the word ‘Khaos’ in Yunian. In ancient greek chaos means;the sea where everything turns into a homogenous mass fluid as opposed to the order the differences which is lost , the objects are melted. The first thing that comes to mind when chaos is said is that when called chaos , which comes first a mind , everything that entered each other , nonlinear a process which become disaster.The reason for the existence of chaos is that necessary data is not sufficiently known to predict the future. Moreover, even if this data is known, there is no analysis structure that will give accurate results with the current analysis techniques and even a very small data error can lead to totally incorrect results. For instance; it may be predicted that a magnet that stays stationary from the center will stop after the magnet is moved. However, the result can not be predicted when the magnets hang around magnets rotating with the effect of the wind. Because the middle magnet is affected by the surrounding magnets and the wind. The infinite variable needs to be calculated to predict when, how, and how much the effect of the wind will be and that is not possible. Also, chaos that seems irregular is order that a person can not perceive with the sense of order. According to Gleick, in chaos theory, there is a regular solid structure within all mixed and irregular data. Regarding this, Morgan says, ‘there is a new order in any complex system that drifts into chaos’. The irregularity in cosmos has a certain order. İt is nature of the life chaos and order which is existence at the sametime. But there is no permanent order or permanent chaos. Chaos is in order and order is in chaos because everything changes. The chaos of cosmos is, in fact, nested cycles. The reason for the loop is that behaviors that affect order and order is constantly destroying each other and the beginning of the circle.
Chaos does not simply represent forms of random behavior. To give an example; the shape of the steam that comes out of cooking are thought to be the product of completely irregular and independent coincidences. However, many parameters and factors determine the motion of the vapor. The multiplicity of these parameters makes reaching a clear conclusion difficult. The air stream that causes the movement of vapor depends on the temperature change of the room and pressure difference. Even though only the airflow is assumed to be influenced by temperature flactuations,it effects the airflow in order to the temperature difference creates presure difference and the air stream causes the temperature change and a function is formed again. This change lasts forever. In other words, reducing the number of factors can not change the complexity and chaotic of the result.
Everything starts with a chain reaction that acts on each other. Minor changes that seem to be irrelevant affect large and complex systems. This interaction which is called is thinking butterfly interaction “the tranformation of the air current formed as a result of the wing strike of the butterfly.”. If the flow of air that a moth has caused caused a storm in a place 1,000 kilometers away, what caused the air flow created by an aircraft engine? The butterfly is not strong enough to form a hose. The flapping movement represents a part of the starting conditions. In fact, to be told is not storming elsewhere when each butterfly flight, it is occuring big events from small causes. When only one of the balls is hit on a billiard table, the shot ball is hit by another ball and effect on the table increases. This shows that a small movement will have an effect on a broad fluctuation. The effects can be ignored.Can couse resulting in a radical change which can make it exist even if it does nor exist at all. This is one of the main causes of chaos.
Chaos also resembles Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are symbolized by black and white representing the opposing pole on the Far East philosophy. Everything has two opposing poles that are inseparable from each other. Movement is both born and continuous in both. Each pole contains the opposite. Poles can not be considered independent of each other. When these opposing energies are together, change, transformation, development occurs and represent each other. It is possible to see the whole of these features in chaos. The opposite of chaos is order. Chaos and order are also temporary. It is a dynamic and variable process that determines the balance like a pendulum.
Chaos is shown as a primitive divine entity in Greek mythology and came before the earth. For this reason the universe is composed of chaotic components. There is no stability in the functioning of the universe and there is a logic of existence based on change. There is a loop in both of them. As we saw in the examples, functions’ affecting steam movement being in an endless interaction, small causes’ causing great consequences in butterfly effect and possibilities’ affecting each other and repeating, transformation of contrasts on Yin and Yang are evidence that the chaos, the order and the behaviors affecting the order are in a continuous loop.
