Abstract: This paper argues that a common design paradigm
for systems is fundamentally awed, resulting in unstable,
unpredictable behavior as the complexity of the system
grows. In this awed paradigm, designers carefully
attempt to predict the operating environment and failure
modes of the system in order to design its basic operational
mechanisms. However, as a system grows in
complexity, the diuse coupling between the components
in the system inevitably leads to the buttery eect, in
which small... (Update)
