Highly speculative:
There is 7 LB, 7 Mothers, 7 Winds, IIRC Cosmic Dragon
cut something in 6 members and one body = 7 parts.
Always 6 + 1.

At Tentacle, IIRC, Greg said Argrath bring down the Moon
by bringing 6 of the 7 dragons together so that the seventh
(the Moon Dragon) had to come.
If I understood, the 7 together reformed the cosmic dragon
and that is what destroy & recreate the world.

Advanced GL theory:

there is 7 viewpoints,

4 of them are worlds (analogy to the winds) that
heroquesting mortal can visit.

Another is Draconic/Dragonewt

Number 6 is ... well, Anybody got an idea ? Dreamworld ?

Number 7 is the extinct one Pete mention.

If there is an understanding of six viewpoints in the same
person/group this bring the seventh (analogy to Gina Jar
and She Who Waits).
Using the seven powers/viewpoints is automatically in
world shaping because .

I don't think Chaos is one of the seven. Chaos is in the
cracks of space and time. It can be anywhere and you find
it where you look for it. ie you look for Chaos God on
God World, for Chaotic Great Spirits on Spirit World etc.
