Drawing upon Barnes' noted expertise in mathematically based design, Chaos is based on the principles of Chaos Theory chaos theory, in mathematics, physics, and other fields, a set of ideas that attempts to reveal structure in aperiodic, unpredictable dynamic systems such as cloud formation or the fluctuation of biological populations. and fractal mathematics. Chaos Theory describes complex motion and the dynamics of sensitive systems. Chaotic systems are mathematically deterministic 1. (probability) deterministic - Describes a system whose time evolution can be predicted exactly. Contrast probabilistic. 2. (algorithm) deterministic - Describes an algorithm in which the correct next step depends only on the current state. but nearly impossible to predict. Chaotic systems can appear to be smooth and ordered -- such as fractals, geometric shapes This is a list of geometric shapes. Generally composed of straight line segments
"Chaos is an abstract geometric that becomes almost organic when installed in a totally random manner," said Barnes. "Imagine that the carpet tiles are playing cards playing cards, parts of a set or deck, used in playing various games of chance or skill. The origin of playing cards is unknown, and almost as many theories exist as there are historians of the subject. - they can literally be shuffled out of the carton and installed without regard to direction." "First introduced as Shuffle in our Verve custom program, Chaos has been enthusiastically received by design professionals who cite the fresh and original look and range of its 24 colors," said Nat Harrison, director of product design and development for C&A.
