But surely the Thesis is Chaos and the cosmos is the Antithesis arising from it?

Thesis: 	Chaos.		A primitive roiling mass, disorganised but
				potent.

Antithesis	Creation & Law	A small organised dot in the centre of the
 				Chaos, over-rigid and eventually doomed.
 
Synthesis:	Lunar Cosmos	A perfect balanced and eternally creative
 				order.
 

And remember those great thinkers Shea and Wilson who add further stages called Parenthesis and Paralysis beyond that....
