      “The software consists of multiple components, some of which couple and some of which compute. There is I/O.” literally a complete description of every system, and yet

      yes I was going to say software is a terrible metaphor here and probably what he was drawing from

      Not sure software is particularly terrible domain-wise for law/gov structure (in the way it is terrible for biology, say – and as biology often is for politics), but I’d be interested in an elaboration.

      I mean his twee-but-serious wordiness – you can tell he is a wet eyes kinda dude from his prose – is definitely something you either love or hate; I happen to love but I noticed it makes me a much worse tech writer when I had a lot of it

      I guess the tendency to lump people into big collections that function as boxes is misleading and misses a lot of micro movement, gunning for a systematic and granular object-oriented model just feels deeply clunky for something as complex as the us polity

      certainly true but what do you derive from it? who’s smart enough to have a working model including every single person? feels like an “all wrong some useful” kinda thing
