    SMT is philosophical Order and Chaos. XIV deals with metaphysical Order and Chaos derived from greek ideologies.

    A big difference is metaphysical Order creates many things with individual distinctions following underlying patterns or rules (eg. the behavior of elements) where philosophical Order reduces things into components of one entity.

    Metaphysical Order creating a bunch of distinct entities can create philosophical chaos, while metaphysical Chaos reduces things into nothing creating the extreme of philosophical order. They're paradoxical waypoints to try to navigate, so it's best not to get those wires crossed.

    While on misconceptions and crossing wires, Dark Knight isn't using Capital D Darkness. The darkness within is a practice of channeling emotional state to fuel manipulation of aether, more akin to Warrior's Inner Beast than anything else. According to Koji, Light and Darkness isn't even aether, but something else entirely.
