Chairman's breakdown of chaos theory? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anarchism

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'chaos theory?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'chairman's breakdown' is the wordplay.
'breakdown' indicates an anagram.
'chairmans' anagrammed gives 'ANARCHISM'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anarchism that I've seen before include "lawless attitude" , "anti-government doctrine" , "Man's chair (anag.)" , "Anti-government ideology" , "Bakunin advocated it" .)
