3 spaces is best because if the universe is chaos then everything in it should reflect that.

I'm more about increasing spaces exponentially to really highlight how important each line is

public boolean function() {
 if (method()) {
   if (otherMethod()) {
       for (Object o : list()) {
               if (o.isAlive()) {
                               return false;
               }
       }
   }
 }
 return true;
}

Good, good. The less consistency the better.

But what if the chaos plays favorites and favors tabs?

For line in lines: if char[0] == SPACE { del char[0]} else if char[0] == TAB {char[0] = SPACE*3}

save('overwrite')
