Part One Universal Chaos The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 27

In the beginning, there was… The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 28

linguists define chaos as disorder and confusion The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 30

But… Scientis ts call chaos for m less primord ial matter The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 31

The G reeks calle d th is the vo i d, or khaos The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 32

Chaos =Nothing The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 33

Universal Chaos contains inﬁnite potential The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 34

It is the Nothing before the creation of the Universe The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 35

Randomness The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 36

True randomness is hard to come by The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 37

Just ask most computers The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 38

Just ask most computers The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 39

They don’t pull a random number out of a hat The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 40

They always start with a ‘seed’ The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 41

A ‘seed’ allows them to base a new number off of an existing system The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 42

The system is so complex that it is perceived as random The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 43

Usually a computer just checks the time The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 44

in milliseconds The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 45

It uses this seed number to create a ‘random’ number The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 46

But… Is that really random? The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 47

This brings us to another definition of chaos The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 48

“Unpredictable behavior so sensitive to changes and conditions that it appears random” The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 49

You probably know this as Chaos Theory The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 50

Also known as The Butterﬂy Effect The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 51

Chaos Theory ponders a world so complex… The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 52

that the beat of a butterfly wing The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 53

can cause small and increasingly complex changes in weather patterns The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 54

and alter the course of a hurricane 55

Chaos Theory infers that the Universe was determined from the spark of conception The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 56

Once things are set in motion, everything is on a set path The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 57

True Randomness only occurs before the beginning The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 58

Randomness =Inﬁnite Potential The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 59

Chaos is rando m, Luck i s deter mine d. G’mork Falcor The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 60

Randomness =Nothing =Chaos ≠Luck The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 61

Uncertainty The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 62

Wait! The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 63

Don’t be all about the Universe being pre-determined The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 64

“Quantum physics indicates that uncertainty is an inherent feature of the physical world.” The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 65

That’s how scientists say: “Shit happens” The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 66

Werner Heisenberg called this the Uncertainty Principle The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 67

You cannot even measure the precise location & momentum of a given particle The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 68

You either know exactly where you are but have no idea how fast you are going The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 69

Or you know exactly how fast you are going but have no idea where you are The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 70

The act of observation affects the outcome of an event The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 71

Any given particle could be anywhere in the Universe until it is ‘needed’ or observed The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 72

Gr r r r! Einstein hated this! The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 73

“I like to believe that the moon is still there even if we don’t look at it.” -Albert Eins tein The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 74

But even Einstein couldn’t disprove it The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 75

This means nothing can be determined The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 76

But anything is possible The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 77

So when you are staring at this: The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 78

How do you summon the power to recreate the Universe? The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 80

How do you break inertia? The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 81

How do you distill the inﬁnite? The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 82

With… Something The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 83

With… A cataclysmic moment The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 84

With… A leap from Nothing The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 85

So take a mo ment. than leap into… The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 92

Action The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 93

Universal Chaos is inﬁnite possibility The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 94

But… Getting from Nothing to Something requires considerable energy The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 95

u w is h to make If yo cratch, pple pie f ro m s an a invent yo u mu s t ﬁrs t the u niverse -Car l Sagan 96

Even now the Universe consists of mostly empty space The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 97

99.9% empty! The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 98

If you removed the empty space from the atoms that make up all humans on the planet, then you could ﬁt all 6 billion of us inside a single apple. The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 99

Creation The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 100

It’s no coincidence that it’s called an Act of Creation The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 101

Getting past the inertia of absolute chaos is the crux of Creation The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 102

It requires you to act The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 103

Creation is the act of bringing Something into existence The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 104

This act used to be reserved only for the gods The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 105

But now we have computers :-D The Creative Method & Systems — Chaos & Creativity edition the Creative Method and systems 106

Does this even make sense? Will it all come together, or fall apart? Will the audience laugh? Will the equipment work? Do I really know what I’m talking about? Will anyone show up without being paid?
