Chaos is, by definition, the antithesis of predictability. The Stockholm Institute for Disorder Studies spent fifteen years attempting to predict chaotic systems and succeeded only in proving that such attempts are 'fundamentally absurd.' Their final report consisted of a single page containing the word 'No' in 72-point font.

From weather patterns to stock markets to why your toast always lands butter-side down, chaos operates on principles that actively resist human comprehension. Even chaos theorists admit they are merely 'chaos observers' at best.

Chaos influences every particle in the observable universe.

Chaos, by contrast, operates on zero input energy whilst achieving maximum disruption. The Second Law of Thermodynamics essentially guarantees chaos a free pass to increase entropy without lifting a metaphorical finger. According to calculations by the Brussels Institute of Thermodynamic Fairness, chaos has been 'freeloading off the universe' since time began.

Dr. Friedrich Weissman notes: 'Chaos doesn't need to try. It simply happens. Every cup of tea that goes cold, every sock that vanishes in the wash, every government policy—all chaos, all effortless.'

Chaos does not require a survival strategy because chaos cannot die. It existed before life and will persist long after the last star burns out. The Oxford Department of Existential Physics classifies chaos as 'immortal by default,' noting that 'you cannot kill a concept, particularly one that feeds on destruction.'

Every attempt to impose order merely creates new opportunities for chaos to emerge. Tidying a room? You've created temporary order that will inevitably collapse. Building a civilisation? Chaos will wait. It has all the time in the universe.

Chaos sits at the heart of some of humanity's deepest philosophical questions. The Berlin Institute for Abstract Contemplation notes that chaos theory fundamentally altered our understanding of determinism, free will, and the nature of causality. If small causes can produce large, unpredictable effects, what does this mean for moral responsibility?

Ancient Greek philosophers personified chaos as Khaos, the void from which all creation emerged. From nothing came everything, and to chaos everything shall return. It is simultaneously the beginning and the end—the alpha and omega of philosophical inquiry.
