I've come to understand Chaos Theory a bit more with the help of Quantum Theory. Connecting both of these difficult theories bridges the gap between them, a relationship I have not found in any popular science book or article yet. The key is the matrix variable, which shows that the position of an electron in the atom activated by quanta (moving from one level of energy to the next) has a probability of the arrangement, not as a certainty, which unfortunately means we cannot predict where it will be. What we see as reality is only the most probable arrangement of light as a consequence of the matrix.
The question arises about the hidden values of this matrix, the ones we don't see and are less likely to predict. They all exist simultaneously which means the math is showing a higher dimension in the calculation. Each value of the matrix that we cannot see may exist in what mystics call the astral, spiritual, or dream realms, of which there are infinite varieties; and that is why a particle can also be thought of as a wave, with a continuous calculus, not just as a particle. We only see it as a particle when we observe it.
Interestingly this could explain several mysteries in physics such as what dark matter is, and why the body loses weight after it dies. It explains why dreams, hallucinations, and vision quests are so distorted from the realistic versions of what we actually see: because the improbability of the hidden matrices opens the door to an infinite variety of convoluted planes of existence.
That's where Chaos Theory comes in. God does play dies, as Einstein once asked. Sometimes, the particle that shows up in physical reality is one of the least probable- not always, but at least enough to put an unpredictable spin on a supposedly deterministic universe. This is precisely why the universe is not deterministic. We cannot predict where the correct value of the matrix that will appear, only the probability that it will follow a deterministic path- the most likely one. Chaos results from those rare occasions when a low probability value emerges, or a collection of them. With a collection of them, it is more likely that something we were confident at predicting changes course, like the weather.
Greater minds than mine are certainly more equipped to solve these riddles. But based on what I know about science; what I've studied and what I've pondered philosophically; and my experiences with altered states; it seems quantum theory is best understood as a portal to describing all the other universes that may occur when matrix values are filtered out. And yes, there is such infinite complexity in this perspective that it hurts my brain and probably yours too! I'm imagining the total collection of universes as a magnetic field, with the most improbable ones being outliers on the field, while the most probable are congested in the center.
