In any attempt to disrupt an order there is a chance of success. The variability of rates of chance are both foreseeable and unforeseeable. However unlikely it may seem, a change will always take place, a small shift in existence, a new destiny. Whether subtle or abrupt, a new opportunity presents itself, causing a shift of equilibrium. The secret desire for new experience implicitly involves complex calculations. Each outcome inevitably implies an escape, a new sequence, a system which is at once open-ended and irreversible.
A new condition must be assimilated before a new departure is possible. The process is subject to hidden rules established a priori, a circumstance that can only mean one thing: that destiny is a game of chance.
