The Causality Theorem
Being The Hand Of Change
Those who seek to cause the storm...
Discordians use the principles of causality to create complex systems. These systems are often elaborate, and when the discordian is ready, the patterns that emerge result in a breathtaking cascade of events. It's a domino effect; one event begets another. These tiny, seemingly insignificant changes that all lead to a single goal.
Chaos is a playful companion. Destruction is only one of the many toys in her dungeon. Some discordians choose to specialize in causality. They believe chaos is not the opposite of order, rather she is the opposite of stagnation. Chaos doesn't oppose structure, it is simply a structure of a different kind. Chaos is the structure of change.
Chaos is not random. It's the opposite. Chaos is a fundamental force that exists in all things. Those who specialize in causality are clear to point this out. They are practitioners who care little about theory. They are those who think in systems. Every move they make and word they say is a gear in an ever-changing machine. Every moment of note is a potential fulcrum. They are social and existential engineers who can make the most astonishing things happen. They have moved beyond reacting to the world around them.
They are the ones who force the world to react to them.

Strange Attractors
The balance between probability and Causality is the secret to this theorem, and the genre as a whole. A practitioner who can utilize both concepts can only then be considered a true hand of change. Chaos needs both to do her job.
Take, for example, strange attractors. These objects do not hold any magical value. They grant no powers or special traits.
These objects are special only to those who share a love of discord. They notice something about an object, a presence that shrouds, it but not like an aura. It's a gut feeling that reveals these objects to the discordian. Strange attractors are always in flux, shrouded in chaotic energy.
When used, the effects are seemingly random. It is never clear what will happen.
