Chaos Theory is one of the most recognizable runner identities in Android: Netrunner lore: a Shaper archetype who treats icebreaking as craft rather than pure theft or vandalism. Flavor and community materials paint them as brilliant, restless, and more interested in elegant code than corporate hierarchy.

In RPG terms, Chaos Theory is a template for **Shaper runners**: homebrew icebreakers, custom rigs, and jobs taken to fund better tools. They sit opposite pure Anarchs (burn the server) and Criminals (get paid, get out).
