That may be your definition, but it does not have to be “chaotic”. Much of it may sound that way to any given listener, but then we’re back to the “in the ear of the beholder” idea.
How about an example of where you would draw the line, O-10? I prefer to not draw those kinds of lines, but that’s just me.
