Chaos theory provides a model for the initiation and propagation of fibrillatory wavelets. Seemingly random, their movements are subjected to multiple constraints, much like the defining equations of a fractal system. The same laws of probability which determine the velocity, direction, size, and shape of a depolarizing wavefront may also control the shuffle of cards, roll of dice, and spin of a roulette wheel. Pick your game--craps, blackjack, cribbage, poker, roulette, or antitachycardia pacing. Even if the house is rigged, you have a backup system in the can.
