All of us may have faced uncertainty in life. Sometimes there would be unpredictable events. But, what makes life different? That itself is evolving much like a hypothesis test. No absolute rule can explain a complex system; then, it is natural to be unpredictable. If it is governed by unchangeable laws, that itself rules out the possibility of evolution in any aspect. I think one of the essential characteristics of any system to evolve is that it should be chaotic; there should be emergent properties and sensitive dependence on initial conditions.
Think about a system that has no sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Then even when there is a tiny perturbation, that will die out as time progresses. In a way, it kills possible concerns—every time, the system does the same thing. Then how can there be distractions? How can there be different emergent properties? At every point in time, we are bifurcation, and we can not predict because we are chaotic; it is the way we are. We can’t predict what would happen long after, as the ‘memory’ dies away as time progresses. But, whatever happens later depends on what happens now.
In short, let me put it short, we all are chaotic, evolving with time. Even when exact clones of the same individual as time progresses, they will become uniquely due to this inherent chaotic nature. Thus life itself seems to be hypothesis testing. Every time we face something new; we are evolving; we are becoming something new; we are overwriting ourselves. Here life seems like a path function; there is no single way of explaining the initial and final state. I think it would be a lot better if we could explore the full potential of these chaotic states, break the loops, and don’t go behind expectations, as that itself reduces the evolution.
