The ideal Platonist of order and intelligibility dominates all Greek science then classical science up to Einstein, cantor passionate about a religiosity cosmic.
With a view to traditional, disorder is what disrupts an established order. The concept of order is therefore first. She is of religious origin. order in the world is the reflection of divine reason ; God is the great organizer.
The study science of disordered states forces us to reconsider the dialectic order-disorder and raises the problem of complexity that goes beyond the framework properly scientific.
Discovery of an omnipresent disorder forces us to question the scientific bases of this truly mythical ideology. Disorder is first perceived as a offense to the natural order.
This connotation negative reproduces that which surrounds the idea of moral disorder or disorder social.
The disorder is it not a threat to science itself that, since she exist, worked hard to reveal the hidden order of things ?
The revelation of there is something scary about disorder, because the mess is out of control. He should therefore be repressed and reassured. For it, it is asserted that the disorder is only an appearance and that behind this apparent disorder hides an order, a perfectly ordered backworld.
This conjunction of order and disorder creates complexity.
The story of the universe of life presents an increase in complexity, like Teilhard of Chardin had had the intuition. We are now talking about the pyramid of the complexity, complexity thresholds. So order and disorder, the regular and the irregular, the predictable and the unpredictable, combine to create the complexity.
In a structure complex, the order is due to the existence of interactions between the elements then that disorder makes it possible to better specify the constituents of the system for, the having named, then be able to put them in interaction. Therefore, in the systems, a dialectic emerges between the whole – the whole system – and the parts ; thus the cell is more than an aggregate of molecules. In the everything emerges from the new properties of which the constituents are deprived, the parts.
Everything is equipped organizational dynamism. Life can be defined as a bundle of emerging qualities – self-reproduction for example -. It contains simultaneously an element of order and an element of degenerative disorder. In this sensedeath is inseparable from life, andthe organization of life is made a permanent reorganization.
