Very proud of himself for figuring out how to jump up and balance on the arm of the couch… a perch for keeping track of the front yard

Is it possible our bloated, confusing software is the result of years of bad decisions? 

Or did the architecture emerge from the company's equally bloated and confusing management structure? 

The evidence is all there.

I read @johncutle.fish’s swiggle in the middle to indicate that various processes interacting create phase spaces. He uses the term alive… if the process stop interacting, if you disentangle them… the phase space collapses… the system is dead.

(I think Ackoff misquotes Kurt Koffka here. Koffka was a gestalt theorist. His version “the whole is other than the sum of the parts” I take this to mean the whole cannot be calculated… it isn’t a sum (the result of a calculation).)

What makes you come so soon?
You used to come at ten o'clock,
But now you come at noon.
