Namaste:
I would say the Westerners have different concepts of Chaos - Entropy, Sin (which is something different really), Error, The Devil as was previously mentioned. I've run into this a lot when exploring Eastern Glorantha - the Unworld of Chaos still exists, but its mythic and historic manifestations are quite different.
