Chaos is the universal force for everything against order. It also exists in more than one form
Such Forms include- The Force of Chaos in Sailor Moon, very much the "Dark Side" in that continuity.
- The Chaos in the Chaos Emeralds, in the Sonic the Comic continuity, Super Sonic is an insane super forum that's anything but good. In other continuities, they serve to bring order to the chaos.
- Chaos itself, this side to Chaos is the side that represents that order itself is not inherently good, that Chaos must happen for order to be (to wit, Dark Is Not Evil)
- The Shadows in the Persona continuity. Summed up by the fact that in P4, they go beserk when there is calm in the TV World.
- All "Dark" alliances in the Shin Megami Tensei continuities.
- Chaos in Warhammer 40,000 is the particularly evil side.
- Spiral Power.
- Pandora Chaos Raven is an interesting non-chaotic example from El Goonish Shive.
Chaos is the universal force, including order.
- Every attempt to bring order will sooner or later end in Chaos or will spread Chaos elsewhere. Most people just don't realize it because they tend to exist in relatively ordered environments. Some apparent forces of "order" (such as, for example, Knight Templar or most kinds of Utopia Justifies the Means) are Chaos' efforts to spread itself.
- Confirmed: Thermodynamics, Chaos Theory, and Quantum Mechanics all have a general theme of disorder being more pervasive in the universe than order (According the the Second Law of Thermodynamics, nothing is 100% efficient (aka having a perfect orderly equivalent-exchange reaction) and most energy is lost as entropy (unusable disordered energy, mostly in the form of heat aka molecular disorder dissipating into space), and that every irreversible activity will lead to even more disorder/heat. According to Chaos Theory, the smallest differences can yield large but unpredictable outcomes, like how entropy tends to dissipate from an ordered to disordered state. Weather, where Chaos Theory was derived, is especially unpredictable due to its behavior being based on water's entropy. Don't get me started on the uncertainty principle and other forms of self-contradictory doublethink in Quantum Mechanics). Hence the Butterfly Effect observed in nature. Order is simply the act of storing chaos for personal use.
- "Chaos is found in greatest abundance wherever order is being sought. It always defeats order, because it is better organized."
- Well, Chaos was the primordial matter where the cosmos and all the gods emerged. Oh, and that counts Haruhi Suzumiya.
- Why do we see Order in Chaos, then? Even though Chaos is everywhere, sentient beings tend to see patterns and forms that wouldn't even really exist in the first place (Gestalt psychology in short), and they make wild theories and new ideas based on the perceived pattern. Perhaps sentient beings are just controlled chaos themselves (such as the existence of Insanity).
- If one would go by Freudian psychiatry, we are a form of a sealed chaos in a can, said chaos being the "Id" and the can (the outside you) being the "Ego"
- Note that the Discordians actually believe this is the case.
- Magia Erebea takes this, and sprints with it.
Certain people, in certain places are forever locked in a conflict between Law and Chaos.
- Arguably, Haruhi Suzumiya is Chaos, Kyon is Law.
- According to Friedrich Nietzsche, the Apollonian-Dionysian conflict: Apollo is Law, Dionysus is Chaos.
- Naruto: Naruto is Chaos, Sasuke is Law.
- The ninja vs pirate debate: Pirates are Chaos, Ninja are Law. (Obviously this doesn't cover the above example.)
- Or Ninja as a group are Law, there's just the minority of them that are Chaos. (Like Naruto)
- Much like there's a minority of pirates that are Law (for example, British privateers)
- Or Ninja as a group are Law, there's just the minority of them that are Chaos. (Like Naruto)
- And of course, there's no forgetting the endless conflict between the gods, Cosmos and Chaos (also known as Anu and Sithis).
- Jedi vs Siths
