According to E. MORIN, future is not absolutely conditioned by some supposed rigorous historical conditioning. This is a kind of generalized uncertainty principle , (1999, p. 65-66), a wide ( and even somewhat hyperbolic extension of Heisenberg's Indeterminacy relation).
As a result MORIN proposes two principles for an “ecology of action”:
1- any action, once carried out, triggers an ongoing and very complex interplay of interactions and retroactions ( feedbacks) A similar idea was already emitted by LEIBNIZ (1646-1716)
2- the ultimate consequences of an action become finally unpredictable
