Nature is seen as an interconnected dynamic network of relationships that include the human observer as an integral component.
If we were to replace the word nature with art in this quote, it still functions as a good definition. Through nature, we encounter chaos; and through the course of human history, there has developed two ways of describing this chaos: one runs through science/mathematics and the other through art. Through this relationship between chaos, science and art, I will use Capras criteria for what he calls the New-Paradigm Thinking in Science as outlined in his book The Tao of Physics
