!n.engl!sh.4.dze.un.eventful.

intelligent mental states are sometimes said to
flirt around the edge of chaos. this term is from
complexity theory which envisages an adaptive system
that ranges between a rigid order and a more flexible
disorder controlling the degree of permitted disorder.
humans may range from satisfaction at getting something
right -convergent thinking - to blue-sky divergent
thinking. in those more creative moments some
cortical systems may be poised near the edge of chaos.
just to abstract the term even further from its everyday
connotations chaos = controlled disorder
