... Or Chaos out of Conciousness?
Both. If the neurons of the human mind, for example, followed the same patterns all of the time then conciousness would arguably not exist because there would be no variation to account for innovation, spontaneity, or those "ah, HAH! I've got it" moments. It's chaotic behavior in the brain (meaning neuronal computation that is not always the same or predictable) that makes us human and not robots. We also have choice, and choice can be just the variable that can create a bit of chaos.
