Title: 202011011441 Order in randomness, and randomness in order **Source** Wittgenstein and Psychotherapy From Paradox to wonder. John M. Heaton **Date** 1 Nov 2020 **Tags** #language #counselling #sense **There is order in randomness, and randomness in order. The paradox of order and randomness is important in both mathematics and psychotherapy** **Reference** (page 18) I am thinking of the seeming need for “structure and order” in [[Systemic Thinking]] lens of family, and in individual intrapsychic phenomena, but there are randomness, chances, and serendipities happening all the time that influence this order. (it's dynamic, a living system!) Mathematics is the study of order and patterns. Yet the concept of randomness (the complete absence of order) is the most fruitful concept in quantum mechanics, the theory of evolution, and the theory of chaotic systems. Biology systems are found on the boundary of chaos (Evolution possible only because of chance). [[202009071534 Notes Reading Wittgenstein and Psychotherapy. From Paradox to wonder. John M.
