In this paper, we characterize the chaotic operator order $A\;{\gg}\;C\;{\gg}\;B$. Consequently all other possible characterizations follow easily. Some satellite theorems of the Furuta inequality are naturally given. And finally, using results of characterizing $A\;{\gg}\;C\;{\gg}\;B$, and by the Douglas's majorization and factorization theorem we are able to characterize the chaotic operator order $A\;{\gg}\;B$ in terms of operator equalities.

In a development of efficient primal-dual interior-points algorithms for self-scaled convex programming problems, one of the important properties of such cones is the existence and uniqueness of "scaling points". In this paper through the identification of scaling points with the notion of "(metric) geometric means" on symmetric cones, we extend several well-known matrix inequalities (the classical L$\ddot{o}$wner-Heinz inequality, Ando inequality, Jensen inequality, Furuta inequality) to symmetric cones. We also develop a theory of spectral geometric means on symmetric cones which has recently appeared in matrix theory and in the linear monotone complementarity problem for domains associated to symmetric cones. We derive Nesterov-Todd inequality using the spectral property of spectral geometric means on symmetric cones.
