It took a very long time for Duality to awaken and even more for them to understand how to make formations. The solution came from something they called cores, each body possing two, one in their left chest and another in their lower abdomen, four in total and two less than the six on Paradox hands.
When Duality launched their first formation to see their surroundings, they could finally perceive their maker and what they saw shocked them to their cores as in the infinite of chaos floated a giant six armed creature thousands of times there size packing so much power that they felt weak for the first time, you could even say that they were the first to feel this.
They had come to learn the name of their creator, "Paradox", and that for their kind, whatever they were, the names were representation of both their identities and their special abilities, they themselves and Paradox were already capable of using formations but their names granted them physical powers in correlation to the particular concepts attached to it and the more they understood and acted in accordance to them the stronger they were.
All of this explanations to say that Paradox was light years ahead of duality not only in formations but also in the study of their name.
And like this the two creatures started to love their lives studying formations and their names for what would seem like an eternity to us. Duality proved to be not as talented as Paradox in neather studies which was not a big problem for the study of formations as with enough time Paradox could teach them every one they had discovered, but as of the study of their name they were almost on their own as the two creatures had felt that delving to much in the study of different name would be detrimental to them.

Felling left behind Duality chose to abandon the research of formation to focus on themselves and in hope of catching up with Paradox.
They started by focusing on their name, at first no change occurred but with persistence and by following their instinct like the moment they discoverd they're name they felt that they were on the right track but not on self discovery but the concept of name itself as they remembered something, only when they named themselves did they gained real power, probably due their lack of natural talent, but the fact remained, names had powers and perhaps naming things could give them more powers.
The moment of this realisation Duality shared their theory with Paradox seeing no reason no to.
And like this the two friends decided to first name the concept behind the power of their names, many possibilities were discussed but the one they felt was the best was the "self" and the moment they agreed on it both of them felt their understanding of they're freshly named self grow.
The theory was a success, but a side effect started to manifest itself, Duality were receiving a way bigger reward, probably because they discoverd the concept of naming, and by realizing this both Duality and Paradox understood that now each time something would be named, Duality would grow stronger and that the talent of Paradox in formotions came from the fact that they were the first to be born of one and even more to launch one, same thing for the self as they were the first creature to name themselves.
Understanding this the next thing they named was the concept that just rewarded them the "fair".
The next thing they did was to name their race in hope that every time one would be born or accomplished something they would rip some of the benefits.
And like this the "chaosborns", the first race was born.
