Spanish term or phrase: caórtica
No sé exactamente como traducir este termino al inglés. La oración en que aparece es por tanto: "En una sociedad como la que vivimos caracterizada por ser dinámica, multicasual, sistémica, compleja y caórtica (el caos al orden o viceversa) requerimos de nuevas herramientas..." Encontré la palabra en otros articulos, pero nunca una definición. Gracias de antemano!!!
