From randomness to stability

Abstract

The present study describes how the association between randomly chosen variables changes at the successive steps of temporal processes to converge into stable values as suggested by I. Prigogine. To generalize the results to any specific area so results may be applied to concrete problems in different sciences, randomly chosen matrices of random numbers were successively multiplied to generate temporal sequences that before reaching stability had different number of steps. Our results indicate that the obtained poliphasic stability is irreversible. © Perceptual and Motor Skills 2005.
