Ghosts in the Machine?

Law and order are what make up reality for us. Because we only 
know (physically experience) those things that can be defined 
within a framework of law and order.

I'm not exactly sure what is meant by your use of the term 
chaos. I don't think that being able to move freely within the 
matrix would constitute chaos. It would be exceeding our 
current/physical limitations.

I don't think that the matrix is composed of total chaos. I've 
described the matrix as:

Simultaneously overlapping configurations of matter. The 
simultaneously part described my rejection of time as part of 
reality. I described the overlapping part as alternate nodes or 
universes (multidimensionalism). Every possible node in the 
matrix occupies the same physical space (I have no idea how big 
that physical space is). The configurations of matter are those 
probability nodes in the matrix. All these nodes are static and 
unmoving. They comprise every possible event for every 
consciousness within the matrix.

I believe that the matrix itself is very highly structured. 
Completely unchanging (no such thing as time) and fixed into a 
rigid framework. We (our consciousness' (and those of other life 
forms)) are the only things moving in the matrix. We (our 
consciousness) move from one node to another, along a specific 
probability path. The path is not fixed, but its boundaries are 
limited by a set of laws.

I believe that we (as a collective of like consciousness') are 
bound by a set of physical laws that describe and limit how we 
experience the matrix. All our experiences are filtered through 
and limited by these laws. Where did these laws come from? What 
are the laws? Do we know what all the laws are?

If we were able to operate outside these laws (restrictions), we 
would be able to see the matrix as it truly is.

Less laws does not mean more chaos. I think that we have coined 
the term chaos, because we're beginning to realize how little we 
know, about the physical laws which describe our experiences 
within the matrix.
