  Abstract:  The ever growing complexity of practices and normative institutions came to a point where a certain disorder is almost self-evident. Disorder that questions the very foundations of the rule of law, dependent as it is of predictability and juridical security. Introducing a double principle of analysis and subsequently involving two series of documents and readings, the paper argues in favor of a distinction between normative disorder and disorder of the normative. If the quantity, through its privileged rhetoric and instrumental feature (i.e. the numbers) is relevant to a certain extent for the normative disorder, we still have to investigate the decline of normativity referring to the norms themselves. All the more so that measures taken to simplify and reinforce the law could not be considered as significant for the rehabilitation of normativity. Thus, a renewed conception of law and its normative performance involving the normative fact emerges.
