           10.  During and after the Fall of the Establishment of Bureaucracy 
       was the Aftermath, an Age of Disorder in which calculation, 
       computations, and reckonings were put away by the Children of Eris in 
       Acceptance and Preparation for Return to Oblivion to be followed by a 
       Repetition of the Universal Absurdity.  Moreover, of Itself the Coming 
       of Aftermath waseth a Resurrection of the Freedom-flowing Chaos.  HAIL

       * This doctrine should not be confused with DOGMA III -- HISTORY #6, 
       "HISTORIC CYCLES," which states that social progress occurs in five 
       cycles, the first three ("The Tricycle") of which are THESIS, 
       ANTITHESIS and PARENTHESIS; and the last two ("The Bicycle") of which 
       are CONSTERNATION and MORAL WARPTITUDE.
       
       ** The LAW OF NEGATIVE REVERSAL states that if something does -not- 
       happen then the exact opposite _will_ happen, only in exactly the 
       opposite manner from that in which it did not happen.
       
       NOTE:  It is from this text from The Book of Uterus, that POEE has 
       based its Erisian Calendar with the year divided into 6 Seasons of 73 
       days each.  Each of the Five Apostles of Eris has patronage over one 
       Season.
