'Order' is used in at least two senses, and the senses are very different. Something like abadan, meaning wasteland in one use and a new civilization built on former wasteland in another use. Different words, spelled about the same, pronounced about the same, most confusing. Order is used as a synonym for organization in common language, yet it means total randomness, the maximum entropy. We are organic by nature, we organize. We don't create order out of chaos, quite the opposite.

Interesting. Are order and chaos perception or reality?
