The meaning of the word "chaos" and application to a general theory

 
No matter how you slice "chaos" the word, a noun, is about an outright general disorder, that may or may not be based on the "chaos theory."
And if you want to know what the "chaos theory" is, I've researched it, the theory is applied to the universe as a malfunction in the computation of various unknown mathematics, that may or may not have the universal solution to the entire theory as it may not be stated is so currently, but this is an abyss in an original universe that had no order, therefore, all is still in disorder.   
All of the aforementioned sounds like a lawyer parsing words to achieve a certain legal innocence to a bogus charge, or so says a defendant when launching a defense against a prosecutor who expects to prove without a reasonable doubt that the charge as leveled to the grand jury is correct.
 Perhaps the best interpretation of the noun, chaos, is a general unease that all is not as it is supposed to be.
 More importantly, the noun chaos may appear to suggest there is no certainty, since all is based on a universal chaos theory that is an acknowledged abyss.
 And when we apply the noun, chaos, to the world, as it is increasingly uncertain whether the likelihood of nations of people who know anything about issues that suggest the opposite of what the issue is about, the problem is that uncertainty creates confusion, and confusion creates the worst of consequences, that for some reason isn't yet apparently clear to the world as to how close "chaos" comes to falling into the abyss.

Thus chaos is a condition that exists prior to falling into a vast emptiness, or worse, that what happens is the emptiness, a worst of outcomes, i.e. the 4 horseman riding, the collapse of government, the idea that of each person out for themselves, a Hobbes world that precedes the collapse of humanity into some kind of bestiality.

In 2023 the words "hell" & "handbasket" are nouns

 
The Dean of "Words and Meanings" William Safire wrote about the analogy in his 1990 column, which traces the phrase "Hell In A Handbasket" as it was not always defined in the usual sense, as referring to "wreck and ruin.
 My research indicates the words "hell" and "handbasket" as words needing a definition not a meaning, the noun "hell" is the worst place, usually connected to the afterworld where kettles of boiling water are bubbling with those who were so despised due to their deeds when they were living. 
However, the definition of the word "handbasket" is defined as to the "noun" in the Merriam Webster Dictionary as well as analogous to the phrase "hell in a handbasket" which is an analogy to "wreck and ruin," the use of the words "hell" and "handbasket" appear in a sentence as a noun.
 
 The great William Safire's 1990 column "Words And Meanings" in The New York Times Magazine wherein he delved into an entertaining overview of the "handbasket" analogy, attaches something more than a grammatical to the words "hell" and "handbasket." 
Here's one more fact, the words "hell" and "handbasket" are still defined as nouns and with meanings as analogous to their origin, which in itself is a pleasant surprise in this world where words and meanings can be shifted to a partisan purpose for those with a certain POV, I say, let's cheer for the words "hell" and "handbasket," because, these are  words that even in this 21st century can be used as originally intended.

In the 21st century the words adult and child

 
In the 21st century as in other centuries words can reflect the politics of those who use those words as an influence, but sometimes the meaning doesn't reflect how the word will be used.  
To define the word "adult" is to say it is a noun, adjective & a verb.  Wikipedia actually goes into full detail about what the word "adult" means insofar as the legal terms and more.
One of my research sources defines the word "adult" as a plant in addition to other criteria. 
However, the word "child" is solely defined as a noun, the word "child" becomes an adjective when the word is changed to "childless."  One source noted that the word "child" could be a reference to a product.  Another research source mentioned that a "child" is a son or daughter of any age, but, there is another research source that defines the word "child" as a "human offspring," and one more research source did note specifically: a child is immature and childish.  
 Let's assess from the "child" prospective:  the ultimate objective is to be an "adult"  because the adults are in charge.
If consideration about the number of parts of speech, such as "adverb"/noun/adjective, are attributed to the world "adult," then the importance of this word "adult" is shown by the number of speech parts.   Consider all the "adult" speech parts, versus the "child," the winner is the "adult," since "child" is solely a noun.  And I think it might be fair to say that one can make a conclusion of sorts about the word "adult" versus the word "child.
 The why, is self evident.
A child isn't in charge, therefore, the assumption is that an "adult" is superior to a "child," but, so far in this 21st Century of innovations, there is no movement to effect the legal standard for a "child" to be in control of the decisions that are made by "adults" on their behalf.
