According to complexity theory, life is created and sustained at the
very edge of chaos. By analogy with Jungian psychology, our personal
unconscious stands between the chaotic forces of the unconscious and

both spheres. In this way, both our bodies and our minds are delicately
sandwiched between chaos and order, and between causality and
synchronicity. The Nobel prize winner, Murray Gell-Man (1994),
summarizes that for a living system (what he calls a complex adaptive
system) to function, conditions must be intermediate between order and
chaos.
