At the limit, to get to “riced” cauliflower, the technique kinda doesn’t matter: recursive chopping, dicing, and grating, all lead to roughly the same results: a cauliflower-insulting state good only for mushy potato or rice substitution. Structural destruction is path agnostic.

Stack structures can be navigated with lightweight stacks in the computing sense. This is because they follow a finite ontogeny recipe. But large-scale *growing* realities tend to be fractal in macro structure. When you try to navigate them with stack logic, things fall apart.

The
@EpsilonTheory essay “As Above, So Below” in the “things fall apart” series gets at this.https://www.epsilontheory.com/things-fall-apart-part-3-politics/ …Show this thread -
My gloss on that is: under normal conditions stack thinking in a fractal world causes fractal map-territory errors that self-correct via foxes and hedgehogs serving as checks and balances on each other. That’s complex systems homeostasis.

But in weird conditions, they compound fractally, collapsing at all levels. The widening-gyre effect. Hedgehogs become part of problem by getting destructive. Foxes give up in frozen inaction. The system gets ungovernable. Self-correction homeostasis breaks down, all unravels.

The solution is to “think entangled, act spooky” as I recently argued. To arrest and reverse a fractal collapse you have to think in fractal-native scale-free ways. How do you do that in practice? I don’t know yet. Working on it.https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2018/09/11/think-entangled-act-spooky/ …
