Abstract: This paper is a critical review of the most challenging area of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, namely the insurgence of ordered structures starting from a chaotic (maximum entropy) condition, in a system strongly perturbed at its boundary as a quantum optical system. For still higher perturbations, the ordered structures become more and more complex, until they resemble a chaotic situation (deterministic chaos, or turbulence). this turbulent regime is however rich in relevant information. Criteria for sorting this information are given.
