Las leyes no dominan al mundo pero éste tampoco se rige por el azar.

Entre las alternativa de conservación o destrucción, el interés del hombre coincide con el del resto del mundo vivo, pues la naturaleza es la morada de todos, en el más sublime de los sentidos, y por lo tanto, tiene que ser preservada. Reducir el deber únicamente del hombre por el hombre, desvinculándolo del resto de la naturaleza, representaría una disminución sin sentido, y más aún, sería la deshumanización del propio hombre.  

Recuerda que la dura ley de la ecología, revelada por primera vez por Malthus, la cual señala la necesidad de evitar toda agresión desmedida al conjunto de parte de los individuos y alerta que cualquier crecimiento exagerado del más fuerte perjudicaría la permanencia del todo. 

Hasta no hace mucho tiempo, la creciente agresión del hombre a la naturaleza no suponía alguna mudanza definitiva, o que pudiera considerarse irreversible. Hoy, sin embargo, se ve claramente que el extraordinario éxito de la tecnociencia, nos muestra que tuvimos una breve fiesta de riqueza, y volvemos aceleradamente a la crónica pobreza diaria o, sobre todo, a la amenaza de estar entrando en una catástrofe de enormes proporciones para la naturaleza, y por consecuencia, para la humanidad.

The Efficacy of Chaos/Disorder in Truing Relationships by Joseph Germana

“Contemporary neuroscience has come around to a friendlier view of chaos. 

Chaos provides the system with a deterministic ‘I don’t know’  state within which new activity patterns can be generated. ....(it) enables the system to avoid previously learned activity patterns and to produce new ones. Behavioral and cognitive variability may also be observed. 

A random fluctuation...often termed ‘noise,’ far from being a nuisance, produces new types of behavior.”

Chaos or noise: “ .... may be highly beneficial during problem solving..... You want to be able to scan as wide a range of solutions early on and avoid locking in on sub optimal solutions. One way to do that is to have a certain amount of disorderliness in your search. “ Prigogine, I. and Stengers, I. ORDER OUT OF CHAOS

"The wisdom of UNKNOWING is that,  through non-attachment to the known, we move ourselves to explore the familiar more earnestly, leading to the truth of greater intimacy. The wisdom of UNCERTAINTY  is that it moves us to explore the unfamiliar more earnestly,  leading to the truth of greater intimacy. "  Germana, J. AS UNCERTAINTY AND UNKNOWING: PEARLS OF WISDOM

We know that societies are immensely complex systems involving a potentially enormous number of bifurcations exemplified by the variety of cultures that have evolved in the relatively short span of human history. We know that such systems are highly sensitive to fluctuations. This leads both to hope and a threat: hope, since even small fluctuations may grow and change the overall structure. As a result, individual activity is not doomed to insignificance. On the other hand, this is also a threat, since in our universe the security of stable, permanent rules seems gone forever.

Ilya Prigogine, Order out of Chaos

The threat lies in the realization that in our universe the security of stable, permanent rules are gone forever. We are living in a dangerous and uncertain world that inspires no blind confidence. Our hope arises from the knowledge that even small fluctuations may grow and change the overall structure. As a result, individual activity is not doomed to insignificance.

The main character of any living system is openness.
