Sri Syadasti: One of the five apostles of Discordia and the patron of the season of chaos. He represents the simultaneous truth and falsehood that can be shown of all things . His full name is SRI SYADASTI SYADAVAKTAVYA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADASTI CAVAKTAVYASCA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADAVATAVYASCA SYADASTI SYANNASTI SYADAVAKTAVYASCA, which designates "All affirmations are true in some sense, false in some sense, meaningless in some sense, true and false in some sense, true and meaningless in some sense, false and meaningless in some sense, and true and false and meaningless in some sense."
In this manner, he also, in addition to representing confusion, also represents, contradiction, rationalization, as embodied by the sacred syllable "Splunge", which designates that something "May be a good idea, but possibly not, and I'm not being indecisive"
The idea that all things are true can also be said to be symbolic/representative of the "Many Worlds" interpretation of waveform collapse in Quantum Mechanics. In the Many Worlds theory, it is held that whenever an non−deterministic subatomic reaction could be resolved in more than one way, the universe effectively "Splits" into several parallel universes, one for each possible outcome; In other words, going back to a famous thought experiment, there would be one universe wherein Schrodinger's cat lives, and another, equally real, universe in which it dies, and also two experimenters, also both equally real (although unaware of, and unable to interact with, each other). The offshoot of this is that anything that could happen/have happened in the realm of strict physical possibility, is true somewhern. Additionally, there is a similar, though even further reaching theory in some frameworks of superstring theory, in which the universe could have potentially formed with different values for physical constants, and some of these theories imply that these constants could actually change to alternate sets of internally consistent values within the current universe under certain very rare conditions…uh…where was I…um…well…anyway, I digress
Syadasti's simultaneous truth/falsehood also represents the imperfect nature of human language, and , yea, even in many cases human thought, under which it is possible, witrh sufficient verbal gymnastics, to show anything to be either true or false, In some sense, mainly by taking things as being metaphorical, by differing definitions of truth and falsehood ("no, it wasn't correct, but he thought that it was correct, so he wasn't really lying, now was he"), and other such things.
On a related note, syadasti also embodies the so−called "Liar's Paradox", the statement "This statement is false", which is true if it is false, and false if it is ture, and thus is true and false at the same time, and thus, arguably, meaningless.
His day is may thirty−first.
He is somehao also a counterpart to Blessed St.Gulik the Stoned (who is a mystical cockroach who shares the title of Discordian Apostle of Confusion)
