Florence Nightingale claimed to have heard the call from God several times, and although she troubled herself with various problems at the time of each calling, she was always drawn to what she called God's laws. She frequently referred to God's laws in her Suggestions for Thought, which was a three-volume work that presented her radical spiritual views for those who had turned away from conventional religion. The relationship between God's calls, God's laws, andher philosophy are explained by chaos theory.
Organizing thoughts in Florence Nightingale is compared with fixed state and chaotic state in a chaos equation. Since Edward Norton Lorenz recognized chaos theory in 1961, she never formally understood it. However, she did intuitively understand some aspects of chaos phenomena through her personal experiences.
In regard to the organization of Nightingale's thoughts, God's calls can be explained as a process of decreased entropy beyond the Feigenbaum point.

In Japan, public health nurses decrease the frequency of home visit because of other works. Each frequency in 1998 and 2008 years is 2887953 and 327179 times. Its decrease may delay discovering abnormality. If nurses have no other method to catch the abnormality state except visiting, the abnormality can never be caught during interval. In addition, sensitive ability decreases with interval elongation. The quantity of feeling is directly proportional to the logarithm of irritation by Weber-Fechner's law. The quantity of irritation is equal to degree of changed energy per time. Very small abnormality can be sensed by the observation of same visitor with very short interval, mathematically. Both the visitor exchange and decreasing visit frequency not only decrease chance of "sensing" but also make it more difficult. The effect of interval time may be larger than it of ability. Very small abnormality cannot be sensed with interval elongation, even if sensitive ability of visitor is same.Keywords

There are many studies reporting differences between the female brain and the male brain, but it has also been reported that human brains do not belong to one of the two distinct categories: female versus male. Functional gender differences of the brain may be attributable to environmental factors rather than to one's gender. In this paper, the processes of adapting to one's environment have been demonstrated through Piaget's developmental theory explained by chaos theory. A conclusive type of thought such as the male brain is equivalent to a fixed state and female brain is equivalent to a chaotic state. Fixed state and chaotic state change according to changes in variables of chaos theory. Thoughts change with environment because the changes in variables are equivalent to changes in environment. In human life, the ability of the brain to adapt to environments may be more useful than gender differences. In chaos theory, gender differences of the brain are part of adaptations to environment. If Nightingale's brain was the chaotic type, she would have permitted the miserable state of the Crimean War to continue. Therefore, Nightingale's brain was the fixed type. However, the conclusion that Nightingale's brain was the male type should not be permitted. This is an example of how using "gender" to describe the types of thoughts in the brain is incorrect. The female and the male brain should be referred to as chaotic type thoughts and fixed type thoughts, respectively, because brain type is not decided solely by gender differences.Keywords
