Is mathematics mostly chaos or mostly order?
Sure, if you accept reifying concepts into objects as valid. But that is a gateway to misery.

What's the difference? How is the concept of a transfinite cardinal less of an object than, say, the concept of a set? Or a real number? All are well enough defined that you can do useful math with them, and that's really all that matters.
