In his work Creative Evolution, Henri Bergson was concerned to establish a distinction intended to definitively dispel an illusion relating to order, and its inverse, disorder. An illusion which bore directly on the remit of science as it had developed over the long course of its history since the Greeks, an illusion fostered by the mathematisation of physical processes and the concomitant spatialisation of time. The distinction intended to dispel this illusion was to be understood as subtending all other criteria for differentiating order from disorder, and indeed to collapse that very distinction itself.
