After spending close to a century trying to observe the effects of ' Chaos ' energy, Max gained a ' Passable ' understanding of the element.
Learning how to predict chaos was like learning how to predict how many fragments a glass cup would break into when smashed at a particular angle.
It was next to impossible to account for all the large fragments that it would break into, but to account for every last speckle precisely was outright impossible.
Even if one somehow miraculously learnt as to how they could account for every last speckle for a particular angle and throwing force, to do so for an infinite amount of variations was impossible.
The unpredictable nature of the chaos element made it that much more difficult for Max to study as there was nothing tangible about it for one to understand.
There was no consistency to Chaos, there was no pattern, no rhythm, no secret to decode.
