I'm about to start working in a program with threads, Very complicated for me, so I started to read about the theory of Threading, processes, operative systems, etc. 20 minutes later, still didn't understand it, well, finally i went to get a coffee and... exactly when I was making it...click!, I thought..."but Life is just another thread". Now you say, "What?"...ok, i know it's pretty difficult to understand it now, but here is a breve explanation :) :
At the beginning, i thought that humans are like very short process, each of us work by our own and we ask for a quantity of time, what we usually called "lifetime" and then, when it's over, there comes another one, but it doesn't belong to us, it's from another process, I mean, human, another lifetime. So there is humanity, there is the universe, giving each of us a quantity of time, like a very big complex and powerful CPU, time enough to make something, to make a task, to produce or just make some time like a sleep() or just another job in a complex system. When a process "forks" it becomes a father...then the children makes another task using his parent's variables, and has to play with the same rules than the father, but this children has another task, and...well..anyway, let's just make it to the point :P hehe ;)....
But no!!! A Human life is a thread in the Universe...Which is one of the differences between threads and process? Threads share global variables. They have to communicate with each other. People have to communicate with each other! People is connected somehow. We are not just individual hosts in the universe...we are a network instead...we are all connected by information or variables that we can or can not control.
The book I read said exactly: "The global variables of the parent program in a thread environment are shared by all threads, and serve as the main method of communication between the threads, but each thread has its own local variables, just as is the case for process"
The conclusion is that Humans are connected by the same global variables managed by a main big System/Process (God? Destiny?You?) we decided over the our own local variables, but we have a random lifetime and we walk through life like we live in parallel worlds. Your life is "parallel" to mine although what you do can affect mine (or the complete System).
I thing i got the idea...ah? ;)

Take one unit/person; every action that he does in his scale may affect every other persons, every "single unit", and finally the whole system. "A chaotic system is one in which a tiny change can have a huge effect".That's the chaos theory...
You are talking about a "parent program" managing the system. But could we imagine this "superior order/parent program" just as a result of the system variability?...Not the cause, but the consequence of human being. God?...
