Chaos Wand Image from John B Colloquial term for a class of
First Singularity and higher devices designed to influence
chaotic systems and in effect "steer" them toward a desired
meta-stable state.  The origins of chaotic technology itself
date back to the Information Age, when researchers first
developed the theory of chaotic systems; that is systems that
while starting from deterministic initial conditions are so
unstable as to be inherently unpredictable. Shortly thereafter
several researchers determined that while a chaotic system might
be unpredictable it was not entirely uncontrollable. By
introducing a sequence of specific impulses into a chaotic
system, the system could be 'steered' toward some desired state
or set of states while retaining its overall chaotic nature.
With the advent of the first transingularity powers, chaos
steering devices suddenly changed from interesting laboratory
curiosities to a mature technology of lasting importance to
humanity. Transapient devised software secretly manipul
