I wasn't referring to Malkioni philosophy but to the God Learner reconstruction of what happened. The Malkioni would say that as the Fallen Beings sank further into error, their misdeeds weakened the cosmos and caused cracks to appear, allowing chaos through. Some Fallen Beings went so far as to deliberately rupture the Cosmos to allow Chaos to flood the world...

It's unknown to me if they do. Part of the problem is that they have to conceive of a apocalypse worse than the great darkness. I think instead that they keep to the Malkioni way to prevent the Great Darkness from re-appearing again.
