Conflict may be seen as noise which creates spatial differentation; that is, it establishes a limit in the form of a new, temporarily stable territorial structure. This phenomenon has been observed in Cerdanya following the opening of the borders of the European Community. The boundary-lines which meet in this area make Cerdanya the intersection of a large number of territorial entities. Ceretans were able in the past to take advantage of a certain type of dissymmetry. This situation has now been radically altered. The opening of the boundaries has eliminated one reality, source of what used to be lucrative customs exchanges; at the same time another has been reinforced. Larger numbers of tourists from Barcelona are now free to enter, but Cerdanya is also now open to free enterprise competition on both sides of the border. The message seems contradictory for the inhabitants, who have experienced the opening of their borders as a threat to their economy. This situation has led to the revival of conflicts based on sollicking the diverse types of flow which the Ceretans themselves have created: these respond, internally, to the external disturbance produced by the elimination of the political barriers. Since the boundaries are no longer closed, they are perceived as living beings. Their reconstruction follows ancient cleavage-lines which existed before, tracing new limits and achieving a new equilibrium. Ceretan territory is less a fixed object than a permanent evolutionary process. The conflict, seen as an organizing noise, creates sense; or, at least there is some sense emanating from the conflict, since it forms the basis for the morphogenesis of Ceretan spatial structure.
redeviennent vivantes. On assiste à une reconstruction frontalière qui suit d'anciennes lignes de clivages, jouant le rôle de voies de frayage, et réalise un nouvel état d'équilibre. Les espaces cerdans sont moins des objets figés que des processus en formation ininterrompue. Dans sa fonction organisatrice, le conflit génère du sens ou, tout au moins que du sens s'en dégage puisqu'il prend en charge, en tant que bruit, la morphogenèse des entités spatiales cerdanes.
