meaning inside chaos

I once did a test that among other things was targeted at
measuring ability to discern patterns and meaning from chaos.

For one I did not agree with the test as far as living up to its objective was concerned.

task to arrive at meaning from chaos is daunting to say the least.

It is certainly possible. And, perhaps according to this test at least, I have the ability to see through chaos and understand its underlying patterns to arrive at meaning.
But there is a multiplicity in meaning.
It's not a static thing. It changes according to so many variables that the pursuit of meaning in itself become meaningless from a perspective.

So I found myself in an internal world with all these patterns and abstractions.
And I found them to arrive at a level of isomorfism. A level of equivalence, which was essentially arbitrary.

So what was left was other motivations toward the creation of meaning.

Things that motivated me at my core without the need to be explain. To feel meaningful.
Perhaps driven by my own unique instinct to create.
