The existential threat that chaos poses to the human psyche is a profound and multifaceted concept, deeply rooted in the human condition’s struggle to find meaning, stability, and coherence in an unpredictable and often indifferent universe. Chaos, as the unstructured, uncontrollable, and unknown aspects of existence—encompassing mortality, randomness, suffering, and the dissolution of order—challenges the psyche’s need for structure, purpose, and security. This threat manifests as existential anxiety, fear of annihilation, and a sense of alienation, prompting individuals and cultures to develop mechanisms (e.g., myths, rituals, creativity) to impose order and restore balance.
