Title: That's odd...

I was sure the Law of Eristic Escalation ("Imposition of Order = Escalation of Disorder") was explicitly stated in the POEE Principia Discordia.  But I can't seem to find it.

Anyone have a decent reference?

I feel like that's possibly discussed in more detail in the Kerry Thornley introduction in the Illuminet press edition (Purple).

I believe so, but Kerry misquotes it as Chaos instead of Disorder. That whole distinction was more of Greg's thing I guess.
