On the probabilities of order arising from chaos

 

Many theorists are of the opinion that completely random and isolated systems which are in other words completely chaotic, can actually give rise to systems, which can be said to possess some high level of order. My hypothesis is, that if a system is

a) Completely isolated

b) Purely chaotic…

It cannot give yield to a system, which will show a considerable degree of order.

 

The reasons are as follows:

 At the outset we know that our system is an ISOLATED system. This simply means that we have a system which is not going to get any help or interference from, any other system. Such a system is for example our very own universe, or lets say it could be considered to be our multiverse  as well (which is supposed to consist of many universes but which in totality can be thought of as an individual and isolated system). Let us consider an isolated system S.  This S is now similar to our lone Universe or Multiverse in toto.

 

If S is an isolated system and it is pure chaotic i.e. there is no semblance of order in this system then let us denote the amount of order in this chaotic system with a big zero. Say O(order) = 0. In any system the quantity of order is difficult to denote. Yet we can say something about the system in terms of an approximate numerical value.

 

In a Universe which is possessing life and having a stable set of fundamental constants we can say that the occasioned degree of order is high. Say O = say… 0.9o. If the system was initially completely chaotic then it must have had an order value O = 0(zero). According to some the Universe went from an order value 0(zero) to an order value 0.9o(say) without any outside assistance. According to the author it is impossible to

a) Introduce b) and/or increment

the order value by purely random behaviour on behalf of the Universe S, and if order is seen to introduce and increment itself, then it can so happen only by the guiding hand of an outside non chaotic, order implicating agency. 

For example in a class room, many children may be making noise, yet if the class teacher is willing to gently guide the class, by the kind effort of the teacher the chaotic situation of the class can improve in the measure of order. Similarly there may be disorder in a country or state, yet by the effort of a governing body it is possible that the region concerned can be more distinguished in the measure of order. Or for that matter there may be disorder in a prison cell but by the effort of a policeman there may resume some measure of order.

 

Lorentz equations are a set of equations that try to predict the behavior of a chaotic system, yet there is no system of analysis not just in Lorentz set of three equations but in the entire gamut of equations in the galaxy which allows us to enable a completely random system (S) to become more and more ordered by systematic and gradual increment. Please note: a set of equations like those of Lorentz help us analyze a system. They are not motive forces. That is they do not have the power to move matter or energy and augment a reality.

 

ONE very famous argument is given by Michael Behe, in that he argues that Mount Rushmore can never exhibit the four faces of the American presidents, simply as a result of chance occurence like rain and snow. The miracle of the four faces was worked out by some men who cared to carve out of stone, something for their livelihood.

 

An isolated system S which is completely chaotic does not get to assume the pride of becoming ordered simply due to chance events. Infact, a game of chance is a puerile act which does not contribute to the world of culture and life. A chance act is something that lacks the potency or the power to manifest something as wonderful as order. Imagine bricks and mortar and iron assembling on their own to yield a very ornate multi storied building. One can claim that given sufficient time a million bricks can assemble to yield a mansion, but suffice it to say that laws of physics have never allowed such things to happen and the very fact that such things are not seen to happen in the real world is good enough proof that such things simply do not happen. One simply has to step into the real world and one will find that behind every mansion that manifests in any part of the world is a contractor or an engineer who has given purpose to the bricks. One will not find automobiles or newspapers or computers or mobiles which have assembled without the help of an engineer or a scientist. Since that is the case in everything, then so it is the case in all cases. The order that we see in this world is essentially the order in the mind of an individual mind or that of a super mind or minds. Any archeological artifact however old, begs or eggs the question… who was the manufacturer…. because just as all mobiles need a manufacturer, so did all pots and pans and coins and weapons and vehicles even in the past.

 

Another aspect of life that is not too well assessed is that, it is fundamentally difficult to have an absolutely random set of parameters in a physical world resulting in say the seemingly random forces of Nature. As far as the books of the ancients are concerned there is an embodiment of every force of nature and  the very earth itself is a goddess. The Sun is presided by a god known as Surya and Moon is, by another god known as Soma. The oceans are presided over by someone known as Varuna and every river such as the Ganges and the Yamuna in India and as the Mississippi in the U.S and Nile in Egypt, has a presiding deity which does direct the activities of the respective river. Every thorn tree that we can be afraid of is actually a living being trying to extend a twig. Every bitter gourd is basically a plant trying to thrive. Even the mountains are said to be presided by someone. According to Indian science the Himalayas are presided by someone known as Himavan. Parvati (coming from the word parvat implying a mountain) is the daughter of Himavan and the good wife of the formidable Siva. The formidable nature of nature is simply nature attempting to preserve itself and exist rather than not exist, to be , rather than to not be. As conceit and deceit go hand in hand, they do form a part of the Super Mind trying to retrieve what it has given to us but which we have willfully misused.

 

If nature did allow self assembling mansions or cars or mobiles or scooters, then there must have been many witnesses to such acts…. yet since there is not a single witness to such acts. Such acts must never have occurred. Similarly one can see that there may be, say twenty ingredients stacked on a shelf. Yet any amount of household quarreling and resultant pushing and shoving will NOT result in a single meal coming together as a result of the knocking of the pots and the pans and the cans.  Nature may be hostile, but is never necessarily lifeless. I may be hostile, but not quite dead.

 

Thus in essence:

1) Nature does not appear to be consisting of exclusively random forces.

2) The order content of Nature is not introduced by chance events, it seems to be the working of a mature mind or minds.
