I think Mark knows this, and that is sort of why he is very eager to
encourage it to people. Hopefully in the future I possibly could do some
work for Mark while I'm in college/university.

Chaos fits in a part of BEAM, and always will. Using chaos you
can "predict" "behavior". That is VERY thin ice to walk on, and
conflicts of opinions will cause hell on the list for a while. So I
won't say anything more, I don't want to clash with people's idea's.
