What is the most misunderstood and abused term/concept in your field?

Mechanism requires decomposition (analysis into parts) and localization of function (parts have specific functions). So mechanistic analysis faces severe limitations for complex systems in which decomposition and localization don't work very well.

Not sure I agree with that definition. There are plenty of examples of emergent or dynamic mechanisms. Isn't a mechanism just something that does causal work?

I like to understand mechanism and as roughly synonymous with computation: all mechanism computes and all computation is mechanistic.
