# Chaos

**The `--chaos` or `--c` parameter influences how varied the initial image grids are. High `--chaos` values will produce more unusual and unexpected results and compositions. Lower `--chaos` values have more reliable, repeatable results.**

`--chaos` accepts values 0–100.\
The default `--chaos` value is 0.

### The Influence of Chaos on Jobs

#### No `--chaos` value

Using a low `--chaos` value, or not specifying a value, will produce initial image grids that are similar each time a Job is run.

prompt example: `imagine/ prompt` `watermelon owl hybrid --c 0`

#### Low `--chaos` values

Using a low `--chaos` value, or not specifying a value, will produce initial image grids that are slightly varied each time a Job is run.

prompt example: `imagine/ prompt` `watermelon owl hybrid --c 10`

#### Moderate `--chaos` values

Using a low `--chaos` value, or not specifying a value, will produce initial image grids that are slightly varied each time a Job is run.

prompt example: `imagine/ prompt` `watermelon owl hybrid --c 25`

#### High `--chaos` Values

Using a higher `--chaos` value will produce initial image grids that are more varied and unexpected each time a Job is run.

prompt example: `imagine/ prompt` `watermelon owl hybrid --c 50`

#### Very High `--chaos` Values

Using extremely high `--chaos` values will produce initial image grids that are varied and have unexpected compositions or artistic mediums each time a Job is run.

prompt example: `imagine/ prompt` `watermelon owl hybrid --c 80`

### How to Change the Chaos Value

#### Use the `--chaos` or `--c` Parameter

Add `--chaos <value>` or `--c <value>` to the end of your prompt.
