We describe a way of interpreting the chaotic principle of (ref. [GC1]) moreextensively than it was meant in the original works. Mathematically theanalysis is based on the dynamical notions of Axiom A and Axiom B and on thenotion of Axiom C, that we introduce arguing that it is suggested by theresults of an experiment (ref. [BGG]) on chaotic motions. Physically weinterpret a breakdown of the Anosov property of a time reversible attractor(replaced, as a control parameter changes, by an Axiom A property) as aspontaneous breakdown of the time reversal symmetry: the relation between timereversal and the symmetry that remains after the breakdown is analogous to thebreakdown of $T$-invariance while $TCP$ still holds.Comment: 15 pages, plain TeX, no figure
