What are some words for something that is not organised?

What are some words that describe precisely, something that is is not structured, ordered and not a system. However the word I'm looking for is not something like anarchy, I want a more neutral sounding word with no real negative slant/connotations to it.

There is a certain word that I've seen before that I'm looking for, however I can't find it, even after trying numerous thesauruses, which is weird because it's not a very complex word, it's just a bit uncommon.

An example of usage would be:

Rules do not work in a world that is ___. Nature is not an organised system it is ___.

Solution 1:

Perhaps not the specific word you're looking for, but high-entropy seems to fit your definition.

Solution 2:

I'd say the most suitable word would be "Chaotic" For a more neutral connotation, you could also try helter-skelter or jumbled.

Solution 3:

Stochasticity might work. Or are you aiming at amorphous?

Solution 4:

There are a lot of adjectives to characterize a state of disorganization or lack of organization, but most of them have negative connotations: disorganized, chaotic, …

The ones that feel the least negative to me are: random, haphazard, unsystematic, irregular, or casual.

Solution 5:

In view of the context provided, I believe the best word would be "unsystematic":

unsystematic - lacking systematic arrangement or method or organization

Saying something was "unsystematic" would be quite neutral, without any negative connotations, because it isn't necessarily "bad" to be unsystematic.

Or, you could try "haphazardness":

The quality of lacking any predictable order or plan.

But, is also a pretty neutral word. For example, "The whole haphazardness of this attempt at taking the city amazes me"
