"Cosmos: a complex and orderly system, such as our universe; the opposite of chaos." (Counterbalance)
The cosmic and the chaotic may not exist severed from one-another as in the cisions of language and representation. References to "our" universe as complex and orderly contain not only the assumption upon which science elaborates itself (that all is knowable and will be known - the heights of intellectual utopianism) but also the ego of the "scientific observer". Though the structure of science may posit itself as that authority which seeks to reveal the universal-mathematical principles governing all (its own claim to truth), this position is deeply flawed, as it fails to take into account the forces of chaos present in the universe - the same universe it idealizes as a clockwork organism. The truth of the matter (and the anti-matter) is that not everything is observable, nor do science and its acolytes have the proper tools, physical and psychical, to apprehend all that is out there as well as within, intertwined, simultaneous, cosmic and chaotic.
