Chain
A chain is a series of connected links which are typically made of metal. A chain may consist of two or more links.
Two distinct chains can be connected using a quick link which resembles a carabiner with a screw close rather than a latch.

Total order
In mathematics, a linear order, total order, simple order, or (non-strict) ordering is a binary relation on some set X, which is transitive, antisymmetric, and total (this relation is denoted here by infix ≤). A set paired with a total order is called a totally ordered set, a linearly ordered set, a simply ordered set, or a chain.
If X is totally ordered under ≤, then the following statements hold for all a, b and c in X:
Antisymmetry eliminates uncertain cases when both a precedes b and b precedes a. A relation having the property of "totality" means that any pair of elements in the set of the relation are comparable under the relation. This also means that the set can be diagrammed as a line of elements, giving it the name linear.Totality also implies reflexivity, i.e., a ≤ a. Therefore, a total order is also a partial order. The partial order has a weaker form of the third condition. (It requires only reflexivity, not totality.) An extension of a given partial order to a total order is called a linear extension of that partial order.
Chain (unit)
A chain (ch) is a unit of length. It measures 66 feet, or 22 yards, or 100 links, or 4 rods (20.1168 m). There are 10 chains in a furlong, and 80 chains in one statute mile. An acre is the area of 10 square chains (that is, an area of one chain by one furlong). The chain has been used for several centuries in Britain and in some other countries influenced by British practice.
By extension, chainage (running distance) is the distance along a curved or straight survey line from a fixed commencing point, as given by an odometer.
Origin
The chain was commonly used with the mile to indicate land distances and in particular in surveying land for legal and commercial purposes. Starting in the 19th centary, the chain was used as a sub division with the mile to show distances between railway stations, tunnels and bridges. In medieval times, local measures were commonly used, and many units were adopted that gave manageable units; for example the distance from London to York could be quoted in inches, but the resulting huge number would be unmemorable. The locally used units were often inconsistent from place to place.

Never Leave The Past Behind
by: ChainAssassination, stolen planes an', greed that always sets it off
Religious crimes, guided minds, bombs that drop don't land soft
Name your price and start whatever fight your looking for, it's at your door
Mass extinction, genocide we've all been guilty of these crimes
Domination liberates people are to blame reads a old cardboard sign
I want to look back and see weaker part of me and us better after all those years
None of that all of that can you hear that
All of it none of it learn to see that
Try to fly - broken wings - learn the hard way - suffering
Never try never learn never gonna be ready when it's your turn
Never see the warning signs - I've learned in my life
Never leave the past behind
Letting go - foolish pride - the help I need - denied
Turn away in the middle of a fight just in time
'cause you know that they were right - I've learned in my life
Never leave the past behind
Lines of The Prince and The Republic show warning signs of long ago
But who remembers to ask Plato.
Yeah, forget the books and history's waste
Full speed toward the next mistake
Panic cheers, jello, nikes, Heaven's Gate, comets won't outrun your fate
None of that all of that can you hear that
History wants a piece of you
All of it none of it learn to see that
History just repeats in you
Cultural jeans need a place to survive it's not just a fashion it's about staying alive
Remember your little eyes, little minds soaking knowledge from your fathers voice
Sitting smiling on your grandpa's lap resting on the wisdom that he had
Funny by thirteen you know it all savvy until you fall, just remember what made you trip
Next time how will you handle it
