A widely accepted model of collapse (Tainter) is that societies collapse when they get “too complex” in some sense. But this is an almost uselessly solipsistic tautology. How complex is too complex? Logs are interesting is that they are an external complexity signature.

I mean it doesn't take much log reading to see that if food supply chains are disrupted for any period of time over a couple of days then you collapse pretty quickly. Our current logging models have kind of obscured that reality.

If we wanna move from the abstract down to the specific about collapse threats.

Why do you think that we make log finding (let alone reading) so difficult? My word, an upside down world makes so much more sense.

It’s usually an insurance policy afterthought I suppose. The one time I designed a guilty complex system, the thing got much easier when I designed my desired logging format first. But that’s because it was research software and log files were what I was using for the research.
