| | Chaos |
 | | Chaos theory, on the other hand, takes some of the wind out of the sails of determinism, by pointing out the inherent difficulty of predicting the long-term evolution of many systems. | | | Many societies have believed both that the future is foreordained and that chance plays an important role in life. | | | It is a realm whose landscape is in many ways stranger and more varied than the one we have been accustomed to. |

| | Chaos theory is great as a way of looking at events which happen in the world differently from the more traditional strictly deterministic view which has dominated science from Newtonian times. | | | Thus, chaos theory, which many think is about unpredictability, is at the same time about predictability in even the most unstable systems. | | | Thus chaos theory is, very generally, the study of forever changing complex systems based on mathematical concepts of recursion, whether in the form of a recursive process or a set of differential equations modeling a physical system. |

| | Other hints of subtext—a cop's racially charged comments, an allusion to Chaos's military past—go nowhere, but the root problem may be that the ultraviolent strategies Craven used so effectively 30 years ago don't work for today's non-shockable horror audience. | | | In this era of listless PG-13 horror flicks, it's something of a relief to know that the 1970s-style exploitation shocker still exists, but Chaos only serves as another depressing reminder of how far the genre has fallen. | | | The movie opens with a message announcing its mission "to educate and, perhaps, save lives"—presumably a joke, although the portrayal of one girl's impossibly naive parents ("Emily was raised with good family values!"), an attempt at social satire so inept as to verge on self-parody, raises some doubt. |
