Extreme instability or disorder; a state of complete confusion or breakdown of normal order.
From Greek a- (without) + katastasis (stable condition, from kata- down + stasis standing). Philosophical and medical term for disordered states.
Acatastasia describes not just messiness but fundamental chaos—like when a hospital runs out of supplies, power goes out, and staff gets sick simultaneously, creating total systematic failure.
