I loved that. What a wonderful and succinct exploration of their different modes of life and thought. I love snapshots that show the contrast in their brilliance, the way their temperments have shaped similar fundamental talents to completely different ends. Beautifully done, thank you.

This was very insightful and the choice of words is inspired.

Considering I wrote an entire epic fanfic once that goes by the shortened name of "Chaos Theory," for a second I saw the title of this and did a slight double-take and thought it was some kind of crossover. ;-)

However, I LOVE this, it's such a brilliant little character study in how the two brothers seen and deal with things, and it rings very true. In the end, in a way, they are concerned with the same things, they just approach them very differently.

Chaos theory seems to pop up everywhere doesn't it? XD

I really like how you tie the two metaphors together, and I like the language in this.

Wow - this was really well done. I love how the first and last lines mirror each other. Thus, we end at the beginning. Marvelous!

Thanks! I'm glad the parallel there worked, I was a little concerned it would just look like I'd used the same word twice.
