 * This one is very hard to search for, what with the name (which is quite common) and with typos for "chain" ("o" and "i" being right next to each other on a QWERTY keyboard). I am convinced it is a real thing, especially from the uses I found on Redditt (which I did not cite, as they don't meet CFI). I did add two cites to the citations page, one a citation from a physics book that uses chaon in the title, and one that is a somewhat different meaning from chaos theory, which is presumably where the term comes from.

 * One is a typo: Chaos and generalized multistability in quantum optics. Could you link where you found it on Reddit? DTLHS (talk) 22:47, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
 * this, for one. Kiwima (talk) 02:22, 21 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Google Scholar searches for [chaon delocalization ] and [chaon interacting particles ] come up empty-handed (except for scannos and author names). --Lambiam 08:19, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Reading the reddit post linked to, I am not convinced the author was referring to a specific physical concept, and certainly not the one in our definition. Rather, it seems to be a made-up placeholder name for referring to any odd subatomic particle, just like “John Smith” may refer to a random male person. --Lambiam 19:23, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
