Abstract
The power of cosmos (order) has been ended by the chaos theory. Thus, the deconstruction of modernity dualities (modern reality of principles) derived by cosmos-chaos (order-disorder) duality has started. According to Chaotic Awareness Simulation theory, the simulation of such deconstructions could lead to the emergence of non-predictable changes and transformations (zuhur) in sensitive societies. Recently we also proposed a new anarchy definition in the sense of such spontaneous activist behaviors in the simulation world. In this study, following the Chaotic Awareness Simulation theory, we would like to examine the Istanbul Gezipark event of June 2013 which could be considered as a proper example of zuhur and we would like to investigate the sensitive differences of the Gezipark event from other remarkable mass protests in the world these days. This search could lead us to critique the status of Gezipark event in the simulation world as a new stage of open democracy.
