We live in a chaotic universe where small alterations cause big differences. With globalization, the diversities reached a planet wide dimension, redefining everything within a deterministic framework, like the butterfly flapping its wings in Beijing, China, can cause a hurricane halfway around the globe, in North America a few days later. Meaning, on the other hand, is a function of effect, and we can define it only after it transpires. "The owl of Minerva", as phrased by Hegel, "takes flight at dusk". In other words, the only clarity we have today is ambiguity.
Chaos is the logarithm of the number of opportunities necessary for, or situations that can be assumed by a system to actualize itself. This would enable the researcher to produce (n) number of scenario alternatives, which we refer to as "multi-world hypothesis". According to chaos theory, in both physical and social sciences, a system emerges, develops, grows, divides and a new system arises. Mankind comprehend this process only after it takes place, because future can not be foreseen.
The irreversibility of time, the rediscovery of the present and the ambiguous, fluid state of the future, therefore, is a great resource of creativity for mankind. Paradoxically, it demonstrates that everything is up to us, and that we have to build the future. This is an invigorating and challenging task.
This is a new paradigm and is named as holistic outlook. Because, the whole is something bigger than the sum of all pieces and the reality is an indivisible whole.
