Here's a good way to visualize chaos vs order in this context. Imagine you have a thousand marbles neatly stacked in a pile like cannonballs are. That's order. They operate as one entity. If you want to move the stack, you must move them all at once and very carefully.
Now imagine those thousand marbles all strewn about your house. They are now a thousand different entities. You can't interact with all of them at once anymore.
You bring order back to the system by stacking the marbles again. It takes a lot of energy to stack them, and, with enough of it, you can return the marbles back to one entity.
