A note on information, order, stability and adaptability

This brief essay explores some of the subtler ramifications of the notion of order or information. It starts out by arguing that and why a systemʹs information or order must be one of the central determinants of its power and productivity, hence of its capacity to survive. Furthermore, such information must also underlie a systemʹs stability and adaptability. And this again leads us to what may well be one of the main laws or non-linear relationships underlying the growth of information or order: an increase in a systemʹs information or order is more likely as its initial level of order is already higher.
