Isn't a sense of "balance" present nearly everywhere else in the sciences? Matter and energy (neither created nor destroyed, but simply converted); action and equal/opposite reaction; evolution as a (species) survival response to new stimuli or circumstances .... somewhere I hear my pre-algebra teacher screaming "balance your equation!"
Nature, I would think, is constantly striving to *achieve* balance, despite constant disruption. How nature goes about to maintain or achieve that balance is the starling, beautiful, terrifying part.
