The Chaos Emeralds are supposed to contain the energy that "gives life to all living things". An early example of it would be something like the Good Endings of both Sonic 1's, where Sonic uses the Chaos Emeralds to give life back to certain areas after Eggman's pollution destroyed them. Well to be fair, Sonic did say that continuous use of a super form will cause you to disappear, (Sonic Adventure 2) so he may be onto something there. I don't know about chaos being unstable though.

Giving life to all living things makes some sense, considering that example and, (apologies in advance,) Sonic being revived by them at the end of Sonic 06.

I'm also reminded that Chaos is power enriched by the heart. Also the repairing of entire continents by the Gaia Temples in Unleashed.
