  Chain
     (1.) A part of the insignia of office. A chain of gold was
     placed about Joseph's neck (Gen. 41:42); and one was promised to
     Daniel (5:7). It is used as a symbol of sovereignty (Ezek.
     16:11). The breast-plate of the high-priest was fastened to the
     ephod by golden chains (Ex. 39:17, 21).
     
       (2.) It was used as an ornament (Prov. 1:9; Cant. 1:10). The
     Midianites adorned the necks of their camels with chains (Judg.
     8:21, 26).
     
       (3.) Chains were also used as fetters wherewith prisoners were
     bound (Judg. 16:21; 2 Sam. 3:34; 2 Kings 25:7; Jer. 39:7). Paul
     was in this manner bound to a Roman soldier (Acts 28:20; Eph.
     6:20; 2 Tim. 1:16). Sometimes, for the sake of greater security,
     the prisoner was attached by two chains to two soldiers, as in
     the case of Peter (Acts 12:6).
     

  chain
       
          1.  (From BASIC's "CHAIN" statement) To
          pass control to a child or successor without going through the
          operating system command interpreter that invoked you.
          The state of the parent program is lost and there is no
          returning to it.  Though this facility used to be common on
          memory-limited microcomputers and is still widely supported
          for backward compatibility, the jargon usage is
          semi-obsolescent; in particular, Unix calls this exec.
       
          Compare with the more modern "{subshell".
       
          2.  A series of linked data areas within an
          operating system or application program.  "Chain rattling"
          is the process of repeatedly running through the linked data
          areas searching for one which is of interest.  The implication
          is that there are many links in the chain.
       
          3.  A possibly infinite, non-decreasing sequence of
          elements of some total ordering, S
       
          	x0 <= x1 <= x2 ...
       
          A chain satisfies:
       
          	for all x,y in S, x <= y \/ y <= x.
       
          I.e. any two elements of a chain are related.
