In accordance with Stacey's Agreement Certaint Matrix but also assisted by Prigonine, Stenger and the philosophy of nothingness (Heidegger - West, Nagarjuna - East):
- Difference between ORDER and CHAOS = between linear (or systemic, modern) and non-linear (or antisystemic, postmodern)* type of order; between imposed order or self-organised (emergent, organic).
- The differentiation between CHAOS (non-linear, we know what we don't know) vs DISORDER (we don't know, what we don't know; indeterminate – neither linear, nor nonlinear).
- Difference between ORDER, CHAOS, DISORDER = difference between Thing (linear), Something (nonlinear) and Nothing (neither-nor). Nothing as a concept is not implying complete vacuum but absence of essence (either linear or nonlinear).
- Difference between COMPLEXITY (partly linear, partly non-linear) and CHAOS (non-linear) Complexity is explaining logic of long transformational changes from old to new ordering, Chaos is about forming final decision (bifurcation) between offered alternative future orderings.
*CHAOS and DISORDER are essentially non-sistemic concepts.
