Summary/Abstract: The study attempts to highlight the chaotic dynamics of metaphor as effect of a series of creative processes that seem to range, in some cases, from serendipity to synchronicity. Our project, having as starting points hypotheses drawn from quantum physics, the theory of chaos and complexity, proposes another micro-theory of metaphor, which could be defined as generating an a-causal order and meaningful coincidences.
