I breeze past that stuff. Anyone who has yet to start understanding the chaos model in real time systems slept through the last decade and a half. On the other hand, applications of it are only now really hitting the mainstream. The trick is to see the same pattern in the different domains. Because many people can't think at that level of abstraction, the hype works on them. As I said, most of the 'history of the web' reads like Scientology. Is OASIS really 'greater than the Beatles'? Only in a certain locale and demographic. Understanding the power of locales as a means to identify a self-organizing ecology that competes with neighboring ecologies, then abstracting that to a feedback-mediated control system for directing their evolution is the key 'meme' of the last decade, but the ideas are old as dirt or at least, as old as steam engines.

They become truly scary as we implement sensor webs and automate the response of bots based on semantic tensors. len From: Ian Graham [mailto:ian.graham@u...] Bullard, Claude L (Len) wrote: > http://hbsworkingknowledge.hbs.edu/item.jhtml?id=5387&t=finance > <http://hbsworkingknowledge.hbs.edu/item.jhtml?id=5387&t=finance> This is interesting, but I find it hard to take seriously an article that begins with an annoyingly overblown statement like: " ... that a radical new view sees economics as a highly dynamic and evolving system ...
