CMV: Chaos can create order

EDIT: Title should change to 'Unrestricted Generativity' can produce 'Sustainable, orderly structures" as to not cause confusion, I can't change the title though.

As succinct as I can make it: unconstrained pluralistic generativity produces all candidate states, while sustainability filters reality into coherent order.

This is a transcendental framework, that I am trying to peer into the pre-conditions to sustainable structures, but more than any absolute statement that this is true, this is more of a hypothetical exploring the logic of whether or not chaos can create order. Chaos is often defined as "A situation without rules, order, or control." or "A chaotic jumble of objects or ideas." - to make it succinct I'm going to define it as: "indiscriminate variance without constraints." A generator if you will.

Because chaos is then definitionally without any constraints, the question of "Why Chaos?" or why does chaos exist is kind of unapplicable- its a category error in of itself, because to say Chaos can't or shouldn't exist is to apply some form of constraint on it. (yes, this is definitionally tautological- not sure if its circular- but its used to create the more complex truth).

Now, the transcendental aspect is that all things that do in fact happen presuppose an aspect of sustainability- that persistent structures are inherently sustainable enough to do so: That what happens is what can happen. This can include overarching laws and structures- such as that of the laws of conservation, quantum physics, and the more. If the existing structure makes sense- that it is sufficiently sustainable, even if the observer doesn't understand or perceive the physical causal 'laws'- then it can persist. Sorta like stabilized attractors. They are resilient enough against perturbation and thereby sustainable enough to persist. That physical laws are phenomenon of what it takes for something to be sustainable or sensical.

This means that while chaos is completely indiscriminate variance without constraints, what actually occurs is only what is sustainable enough to do so.

There is more to this, explaining other transcendentals of the framework - of interaction, multiplicity, relation, and discreteness - but the above is the primary "Chaos can create order" argument I am making. That these sustainable, sensical structures are the only things remaining after total variance, gives the illusion of an incredibly orderly existence- and that this is what is mistaken as order or even divine design.
