I think I got this right... Discorida is not simply Order vs Disorder, it's Chaos, and we make our own patterns, labeling some "order" and some "disorder"...
Close, but also a good way of looking at it maybe from your perspective.. the chaos is always there.. it is a matter of figuring out how to interact with it. I realized also everyone has to develop their own system to interact with the chao. Numbers are the first place to start. Different numbers mean different things to different people (although some are universal). But again, it's not really a big deal, but hard for us humans to wrap our minds around. Most of us crave order, because that is really how most of the universe works, and our ability as humans to harness those has brought us this far... (there are universal laws, laws of physics, mathematics etc..)
However, there is also the otherworldly and interdimensional.. at that point the plot thickens so I cannot speak on it.
I will reiterate that I do believe it could be very helpful to conceptualize discord as a perpetual religious experience. 5/23 of this year felt like a high holy day to me.. and, maybe I was mistaken in my prophecy.. but I stand by the truth that Erisian philosophy/religion isn't simply about making a big mess and laughing about it (although sometimes that can be fun - if you're into that type of thing) but more (as has been quoted) a message of acceptance and tolerance.
And to circle back to the point, it is a certain way to find order.. but there is always a lack of order - sort of the ultimate catch-22.
