| Abstract: | The last few decades have witnessed the development of a host of ideas aimed at understanding and predicting nature's ever present complexity (see for instance, Mandelbrot, 1982; Bak, 1996; Wolfram, 2002). It is shown that such a work provides, through its detailed study of order and disorder, a suitable framework for visualizing the dynamics and consequences of mankind's ever present divisive traits. Specifically, this work explains how recent universal results pertaining to power-laws, self-organized criticality, and space-filling transformations provide additional and pertinent reminders that point us to unity as an essential element for us to achieve peace.
