Sapience, I bid a moment of your time,

Chaos does indeed have a single definition. Each word
recognized by a language has a recognized definition. Sure
its fun to give mystery and ambigutity to certain words,
especially words like "chaos" which already seem to have
wonderful and mystic connotations. Now, I wouldn't wish
to be so arrogant as to define this word without stating
humbly that there are individuals that know, indeed have
intimate knowledge, the meaning of this word, "chaos".
Her Grace, Goddess of Chaos, Eris, for instance would
be the premier expert on the subject. But for clarity, I
would like to extend a wholy unambiguous and wholy
unmystic definition of the word.

Chaos: A state of confusion or disorder. The absense of
arrangement or category. The infinity of space or formless
matter. A nonlinear. deterministic behavior of a system. A
chasm or abyss.

I pray Her Grace, Goddess of Chaos, finds no insult in
my meager scribblings. The intent was to be as much
a service to her as to the citizens of this fair land.

The Sight council me,
Augur Fetzer

Penned by my hand on the 20th of Aeguary, in the year 241 AF.
