You may have noticed\u00a0a growing use of the term\u00a0chaos\u00a0in the news media. It denotes confusion, disorder, or unpredictability occurring in physical bodies, the body politic, or nature. All such states convey a disquieting, false sense of the absence of control by a single governing power, or Principle. In his poem \u201cThe Second Coming,\u201d thought to depict anti-Christ, William Butler Yeats puts it this way: \u201cThings fall apart; the centre cannot hold.\u201d
\nIn fact, the concept of chaos hails from nothingness itself. The first chapter of the Bible mentions a dark void (see\u00a0Genesis 1:2). John Milton named that void\u00a0Chaos\u00a0in his epic poem\u00a0Paradise Lost,\u00a0and an early American dictionary defines\u00a0chaos\u00a0as \u201cthat confusion, or confused mass, in which matter is supposed to have existed, before it was separated into its different kinds and reduced to order, by the creating power of God\u201d (Noah Webster,\u00a0American Dictionary of the English Language,\u00a01828). The generalized sense of the term, denoting disorder and confusion, is still common today.
