I am saying that, in general principle, large masses of particles act 
"similar" to what a strange attractor does for the images some people 
have been making in povray.images. It changes the behavior of the 
system. Until you plot the result, you don't necessarily have a 
prediction of what that will be, but it "not" what you end up with if 
you had one single particle. Mind, in reality, we have fairly clear 
ideas what happens if you place x number of protons/neutrons and 
electrons together, in a stable configuration, you end up with an 
element or isotope.

None of which describes why, or how, trivially or otherwise, which is 
the crux of your accusation.
