References on chaos magic: - Carroll, Peter J. Liber Null & Psychonaut: An Introduction to Chaos Magic. Weiser Books, 1987. In this book, Carroll provides a comprehensive introduction to chaos magic, exploring its history, theory, and practice. He delves into various methods and techniques used in chaos magic, such as sigil magic, ritual, and meditation. Carroll's writing style is clear and accessible, making this book an excellent resource for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.
Most Chaos Magicians would probably describe themselves as off-white magicians—neither black nor white but perhaps multicolored and prepared to experiment with everything from combat magic to love magic to the most elevated forms of mysticism.
Those days were pretty wild and experimental with fully robed and skyclad ritual nudity mystics, castles, caves, nights spent in the forest, strangely decorated basements, bizarre sacraments, banishing by laughter, serious work, and lots of fun. So ideally, your Hyperwarp Six-Dimensional Hypothesis will be used to help create a starship design far superior to what is possible through modern science and physics.

Title: Chaos by Magic
Abstract: There is a property of a quantum state called magic. It measures how difficult for a classical computer to simulate the state. In this paper, we study magic of states in the integrable and chaotic regimes of the higher-spin generalization of the Ising model through two quantities called "Mana" and "Robustness of Magic" (RoM). We find that in the chaotic regime, Mana increases monotonically in time in the early-time region, and at late times these quantities oscillate around some non-zero value that increases linearly with respect to the system size. Our result also suggests that under chaotic dynamics, any state evolves to a state whose Mana almost saturates the optimal upper bound, i.e., the state becomes "maximally magical." We find that RoM also shows similar behaviors. On the other hand, in the integrable regime, Mana and RoM behave periodically in time in contrast to the chaotic case. In the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence (AdS/CFT correspondence), classical spacetime emerges from the chaotic nature of the dual quantum system. Our result suggests that magic of quantum states is strongly involved behind the emergence of spacetime geometry.

Review: I found "References on Chaos Magic" to be extremely confusing and hard to follow. The author jumps from one concept to another without providing much explanation or guidance. It felt like I was thrown into a maze without a map. The lack of structure made it difficult for me to grasp the concepts and implement them in my own practice. Overall, I found this book to be a disappointment and not useful for beginners like myself.
