Building Living Neighborhoods --What is an Unfolding
www.livingneighborhoods.org
An unfolding is by its nature personal, and requires human input and human feeling from the people doing the work, as an essential part of its contribution to the formation of the environment.

In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers are working backward — starting with the result to learn the rules behind it. @georgemusser.com, SFI’s 2025 Journalism Fellow, explores how this could reshape computation and self-organization in Quanta:

I love the Dijkstra quote:

From an engineering perspective, software wants to be decoupled. From a business value perspective, software wants to be deeply interconnected. That's the fundamental friction that software design, and Domain-Driven Design specifically, attempts to address.

The article has connected some dots in my notes. Therefore, a thread🧵: filling the gap between “gravity” and “feature lift,” and how to empower product teams to make better decisions.
Where domain eng. brings advantages, and how platform eng. could fit in.
A story thro a data-flow perspective.

Excellent article on positioning domain engineering between product engineering and infrastructure engineering. I fully agree with the financial model section. However, I prefer to call it ‘platform engineering: the hard parts,’ simply because in the middle, we face more volatile semantics.

Organisations that take advantage of this fear to squeeze more out of their people might see short-term gains but will ultimately be left behind.
Now is the time to double-down and invest in fostering trust, encouraging challenge, and creating a culture of safety.

While yes, on one hand things fall apart, entropy rules. On the other, life - and all of us, are momentary reversals where things become more ordered.
