虽然计算机造成混乱是一个常见的社会比喻，但几乎整个计算历史都致力于产生秩序。典型的交互式信息检索任务要求计算机支持大型复杂信息空间的遍历和探索。隐含的假设是，它们将支持用户简化复杂性（即从混乱中创建秩序）。但是对于某些类型的任务，特别是那些涉及创造性应用或知识综合或创造新知识的任务，这种假设可能是不正确的。越来越明显的是，完美秩序以及我们用它创建的系统很好地支持了高度结构化的信息任务，但对结构化程度较低的任务提供了较差的支持。我们需要数字信息环境，帮助创造更多的混乱秩序，激发创造性思维和知识创造。这篇论文论证了信息系统需要提供我们所说的“有界混沌”，并提供了可能支持创建这种接口的研究方向
While computers causing chaos is a common social trope, nearly the entirety of the history of computing is dedicated to generating order. Typical interactive information retrieval tasks ask computers to support the traversal and exploration of large, complex information spaces. The implicit assumption is that they are to support users in simplifying the complexity (i.e. in creating order from chaos). But for some types of task, particularly those that involve the creative application or synthesis of knowledge or the creation of new knowledge, this assumption may be incorrect. It is increasingly evident that perfect order-and the systems we create with it-support highly-structured information tasks well, but provide poor support for less-structured tasks. We need digital information environments that help create a little more chaos from order to spark creative thinking and knowledge creation. This paper argues for the need for information systems that offer what we term 'bounded chaos', and offers research directions that may support the creation of such interfaces
