@chaos n persists a threshold.
chaos n applies one temporarily, then restores the
surrounding value.
@chaos 1
chaos 500

else
0

end chaos
1 → threshold is 1 againStrings collapse to the sum of their Unicode code points. That makes emoji and ordinary text valid numeric operands.
rocket = "🚀"
face = "😀"
rocket - face → 128Variables and the chaos threshold persist in this expiring browser session. Failed runs never commit partial changes.

end chaos, and end function. Bare
