Re: Could you give me your analysis of this?

Howard:
I don't think it is YOUR original idea (or is it?), physical chaology has
some funny ones.
IMO (not so humble) chance (even called 'chaotic') has its cause(s) and is
deterministically triggered. Its causes are (maybe) beyond the circle of our
present scientific observation. When I favored to think in 'chaos' I
formulated its nonlinearity as "leading to quantitative conclusions
(material or ideational) that are arithmetically non-proportional and
qualitatively inconsequential" until I widened my views to the
unknow(n)(able) influencing features (causes?) such as Qualia - distant from
the 'plane' within which physical view is concerned to - and sweeping
through orders of magnitude do step in. And this is surprizing, which word
is not referring to nature rather to our present ignorance. "Chaotically".
Random chance would have already presented itself in unrelated phenomena and
it did not.
