I wasn't trying to be harsh (except towards Derrida, the only thing he had going for him is that he wasn't Hegel or Heidegger). And I was pointing out the problems with your post in its own terms from a philosophical standpoint, independent of the content of the update.

Order is different from justice, and chaos is different from injustice, so justice and chaos can't be a duality in that sense. The book by Karl Popper I linked to the wiki page for was primarily about understanding the meaning of justice, and Plato's dishonest attempt to redefine justice as "the maintenance of public order".

The distinction between a duality and a continuum is that duality is a stark "binary opposition". For the sake of argument, Ivalan theology might posit that humans are pure and succubi are lustful, and they are therefore opposites. Alonon has the correct view that everyone is an admixture of varying degrees of purity and lust, allowing a spectrum of possible combinations of the two. That's a radical oversimplification of the concept of a continuum, but that should be enough to give you the gist. It's the sort of thing Derrida liked to natter on about in his "writings". I do not recommend reading Derrida.
