	Edge-of-Chaos
		The phrase "edge-of-chaos" was made popular by Stuart Kauffman and refers to the idea that many complex adaptive systems, including life itself, seem to naturally evolve towards a regime that is delicately poised between order and chaos.
		More precisely, it has been used as a metaphor to suggest a fundamental equivalence between the dynamics of phase transitions and the dynamics of information processing.
		Universal computation -that is, the ability to perform general purpose computations and which is arguably an integral property of life exists between order and chaos.

	Gameplanet - Reviews - Edge of Chaos - Independence War 2
		Edge of Chaos starts after a huge intro movie with the player taking the part of a young Cal Johnston, who is learning to pilot an interceptor under the tutelage of Clay, the mind-simulation first encountered in I-War.
		This initial part of the game is a beginners tutorial for the player and covers the basics of how to travel around in all that vast emptiness without succumbing to space madness (which in reality comes from trying to learn all the control keys in space-sims).
		EoC works with a more realistic flight model than as seen in other space-sims -- and the ships also sport a distinct utilitarian look in comparison to what you see elsewhere in visual sci-fi with their collider rings and large radiator fins on the drives.
