I have a reference question.  Who first coined the term
``chaotic category'' for a groupoid with a unique morphism
between each pair of object, and in what context?  It is a
ridiculously elementary concept, but one that is extremely
useful in  work on equivariant bundle theory that is needed
for equivariant infinite loop space theory and equivariant
algebraic K-theory.
