Chaos is the absence of order, and despite what apologists claim, it is not a good thing. Even change that produces renewal in nature proceeds in a causal, if random, order.
Order and disorder are both aspects of chaos. Disorder is actually quite predictable and uniform, while order can take a near-infinity of different forms. From the two comes chaos, which contains everything, good or bad.
Luna, I am sure it’s hard to remember that Chaos isn’t evil because its greatest practioner is a trecherous, capricious sadist with a callous disregard for people’s lives.
Chaotic systems adhere to rules and limits, inputs yield outputs, and you can use the inputs to predict a range of possible outputs. You just can’t predict which one will happen.
Well, all of them will happen simultaneously, in various different universes. But you can’t determine which reality you will observe.

Chaos is not the absence of order. It is the absence of linear predictability. Chaotic systems adhere to rules and limits, inputs yield outputs, and you can use the inputs to predict a range of possible outputs. You just can’t predict which one will happen.
The absence of order is randomness, not chaos. And it is much harder to achieve than chaos.

Both of your arguments are arguable in the extreme. We’re also talking about a setting of magic ponies, monsters and people who raise the sun and moon here.
Actually, darkness is simply the absence of light. It’s pretty much defined by the other, I’m afraid–though more common, of course.

Chaos is unaligned as f*ck.

Man, gotta play this game again. Soma is truly the main reason I like Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.
pathetic.
Like SEctarianism
Like SEcularisation
Like SErology
Also, have fun doin’ it in a circle, resident apologists.

You were the one getting technical about it, though. :/

She’s arguing linguistic abstractions, not physics.
