From what I gathered with Amber, there are 3 significant points.  At first, there were 2.

It was Pattern vs Logrus.
Then Corwin created an additional Pattern not knowing the Fate of the original Pattern.
Now, there are 3 points and the Corwin balance is drawing strength from the other 2.  It wants a stalemate between Pattern and Logrus.

There was a mention in the Amber series of Five Figures standing with their back to the inside of the Pentagon. So, each figure is facing out.  I forget what that was about. (That was about Dara (Merlin's mother, Julia Merlin's ex, Jurt Merlin's half-brother, Coral Merlin's one night fling, Corwin Merlin's father.)  They all summon Merlin for different but similar reasons.  They aren't exactly working in concert which is what the facing out symbolizes.

Now, to your point it could work.  I just don't like the Old Gods/Outsiders being Chaos but yes they 'fit' that role. I'd rather have Outsiders being tentacles, horrors and such not 'chaos.'  I think we will find that 'old gods/outsiders got taken by a power from the abyss. This could be similar to chaos but I think chaos will come to abhor it, as it ends 'the game.'  Things that "end the game' from a cosmic powers perspective aren't natural.  The cosmic powers do like the fight though.
