Hello again,

there are many interesting publications attached to "order/disorder" but using different terms like "entropy" and "emergence". I would like to add to this text of yours and to invite the reader to get hold of texts and books from, for example, Heinz von Förster, Humberto Maturana, Gregory Bateson and Warren McCulloch.

Especially "entropy" shows what you said above: That disorder and order is not something one can decide for another person or system. But there are of course conditions under which a system tends to become disordered when it's a self organizing system and no influence is being made on it to maintain order.

A library, if you leave it to its visitors, will eventually reach a degree of disorder in which nobody can navigate, for all books will be placed down just somewhere. So some ordering actions have to be in place.

A glass of water in which you let drop a colored ink will present this certain order easily, as you could still distinguish the ink molecules from the water molecules. Over time, it'll reach the highest degree of disorder once all molecules will be mixed up. It's said that it's very very difficult to come from this place of disorder again to a place of order, once the parts are so mixed together, that no difference can be made between them.

The viewer, who looks at the glass may find it orderly, when the glass shows a unison color like blue oder yellow.

So, I'd say that we as parts of small and large systems should have a look where we ask for unity and if we indeed do mistake the idea of unity as a bright color (future), which, in fact, mixed all differences together and therefor does not leave any distinction. Like in the form of -isms where people fall for the idea of unification - wanting their differences nullified - but what they actually get by this bivalent logic is what I call the Invisible: we don't realize that unification in this sense already happened, maybe for two thousand years it's ongoing and we still are stuck in this bivalent logic, asking for more of the same, blind to that we already have received what we ask for.

Time for a difference.

So, there are delightfully disturbing things out there, which and who want to escape the Ouroboros.
