@OogieBoogie It's supposed to be order because fire is chaos. So is the Turbulence in water. Most algorithms still can't predict those things. They say that Vincent van Gogh comes the closest to representing turbulence in his paintings. Which I thought was pretty cool.

And I do think Heredity is another characteristic because I don't think fire exchanges any physical atoms when it moves on to a different source.

Lighting a new candle from the old one defines heredity.
@JohnnySpot perhaps.
But as i see it, fire doesn't do that itself, a person does that.
@Lostpoet order? Really?

Oh yes. I see what you mean.

@OogieBoogie The next match or the next lightning strike is fires heritage..
@JohnnySpot again, it doesnt quite qualify as its the ligjtning and the match that are the step between, if you see what i mean.

Edit - technically fire doesnt have any of 1 thru 5. But its a fun reasoning game.

@OogieBoogie He began reeling in the strictest use of the term.

@OogieBoogie in my schools textbook this was the picture of an example of cellular order. I think it does better at describing natural order.

Fibonacci constant.
