Gender within complex systems embody two spirits: the masculine spirit of taking on responsibility of consuming and provisioning within a system and the feminine spirit which has the responsibility of nurturing new modules to be replacements within a system to overcome entropy.
Generics is a module in a system that is highly versatile and can provide in many unforeseeable ways that are valid to its responsibility.
Every module within a complex system has to have a responsibility. In order to fulfill its responsibility, the module needs to have the freedom to fulfill it. These freedoms are scoped to what is needed to accomplish its responsibility.
Debt is a process of consuming resources (sacrifices) from a system that hinders the system from fulfilling its responsibilities. If not removed, the debt will lead to the destruction of the system.
Due to Adam and Eve eating the apple from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, we humans will forever inherit a sin. One aspect of this sin is that, through our good intentions, we inadvertently use oppression and subversion to solve problems or help others.
A sacrifice is when an entity converts and/or gives up time and energy for consumption in order to produce a new quality. This is fundamental to our reality and is happening everywhere around you and in you. This is why sacrifices were so important to our ancient ancestors and should still be important to us today.
Power is relative change within a complex system. There are two types of power: Influencing change through responsibilities or forcing change through the usurping of responsibilities. The first leads to new qualities while the other leads to destruction.
Traditions are subjective truths that have survived the evolutionary process over hundreds of years. They are needed due to the fact that we cannot measure quality, but can only instill quality in principles, that over time become traditions, or markers of great quality.
Tyranny is forcing concepts or actions at the wrong hierarchy of dependencies in a complex system. We have seen this over and over again in complex social systems, but this also takes place in complex software systems. Tyranny should be avoided in any system if that system is to endure the test of time.
An allergy is a hyper activity of a defense mechanism in an anti-fragile system due to lack of stress. If you find an allergy within a system, the simple fix is to increase the stress to the system.
