Abstract

This paper seeks a way to establish an 'approximate' relationship among information, chaos and order. Nowadays, it has become fashionable to talk about chaos and disorder as a way to try to explain certain observable and observed phenomena for which no theoretical basis has been found. Certain views hold that information can contribute to change the way in which 'chaos' is considered as a means to rediscover or approeciate 'order' anew as a basis of the present day theories of knowledge. There is no chaos nor order without information, but, can there be information without order or chaos?
