If you haven&rsquo;t heard about it, catch up here. The most interesting thing about the debate is that even though it seems that Rohrer&rsquo;s intentions for Chain World are being &ldquo;subverted&rdquo; (depending on whom you ask), this very sort of discussion and debate &ndash; what defines &ldquo;good&rdquo;, what is the fate of the &ldquo;holy object&rdquo;, who can participate, should money be involved and what principles are most important &ndash; is inherent to religion. I haven&rsquo;t asked Rohrer about this but I have to think he was aware of the possibility that people would disobey his &ldquo;rules&rdquo; for Chain World, or that it would mutate in some fashion beyond his foreseeing. But that we&rsquo;re still discussing the &ldquo;chain of meaning&rdquo; behind that little USB key is even more proof that his design was a success, I think.
