Simply because his whole life does not revolve around disputing authority does not mean he is not chaotic. One can be chaotic without going out every day and protesting the government.Also you argue that science is the law and organization that House follows, as if he has exclusivity in this regard. He does not. His superiors and colleagues are usually quite well aware what the laws of science dictate with regards to the treatment of the patient. The difference is that House chooses to disregard rules and regulations that deal with applying that science. By your definition there could never be a chaotic wizard. If a Wizard spell is a complicated set of rituals, hand gestures, incantations, etc. you could argue that a wizard who continually disobeyed authority to research and access forbidden spells was lawful since he was merely substituting the laws and organization of magic rather than the laws of society. By the same token, a chaotic character is not necessarily whimsical and undisciplined (though many are). An archdemon formulating a systematic, logical plan to destabilize a kingdom and create anarchy and discord on a world is not proof that the demon is lawful. It merely highlights that the demon is intelligent and patient. Likewise, The laws and organization of science are only relevant within the practice of science. House utilizes them because they are a tool, and they work. It is how he applies those tools within the framework of society that show he is chaotic, not lawful.</blockquote>
