The portmanteau chaordic is used in some philosophy|philosophies to refer to a system that is simultaneously chaos theory | chaotic and order (philosophy)|ordered. The term was coined by Dee Hock.

The combination of chaos and order is typically described as a harmonious coexistence displaying characteristics of both, with neither chaotic nor ordered behavior dominating. Some people hold that nature is largely organized in such a manner; in particular, living organisms and the evolutionary process by which they arose are often described by adherents to such a philosophy as chaordic in nature. Chaordic systems have also been proposed as a possible approach to consensus decision-making that would be neither hierarchy|hierarchical nor anarchy|anarchic.
