If one is to simplify even the nature of the turbulence and
chaotic attractors and take away the fanciness of it, what is
left is a whirlwind or perhaps gravity - which, while it has
more of a potential to be mathematically modeled, *still* leaves
the impetus question: external, internal, neither, both, etc.
It's hard not to wax poetic in all of this; are we but the eye
of the storm in the midst of chaos? So then, what is the nature
of the still point itself? An area of balance? etc. etc.
Still, I find personally the interface between the still point
and the surrounding chaos and/or complexity the most interesting
part of all. The o between the -o+ - the slash between either/or
- etc. I think that's where the juicy stuff is.
It's the nature of impetus. Are we but [some set of external
factors with which whose interactions produce life] or [an
intrinsic 'something other' with its own impetus?]
