I'm not sure I'd interpret that result as "chaos is impossible". I'd rather say that you can always find some apparent pattern (of smallish size) by searching through enough randomness/chaos. That seems intuitively to be fairly unsurprising considering everyday experiences like cloud gazing, or the existence of conspiracy theorists. Whether the pattern you find has any important meaning is an entirely different question.
- eindiran 7y agoI think a reasonable interpretation of the result is the idea that all "chaotic" graphs of sufficient size _must_ contain order, which isn't as strong as "chaos is impossible", but isn't very intuitive to me.
