A troll of sorts but with a serious core:
Is this possible:
Can a system or a system of systems be both
complex and noise free? What must be true
of all of the components of the system for
this to be the case? By what properties
can one measure this? Are there complex
systems that can not under any circumstances
be noise free (beyond XML-Dev itself before
the deconstructionists flame on)?
Why I'm asking:
This is related to Berners-Lee's recent
post to the TAG list on the requirement
for equality of 'chunks' of XML regardless
of the system component handling the
chunk. In other words, what is needed
for any XML part or whole to remain
invariant across any current or future
WWW system (the WWW is a system of
systems)?
We should consider this problem on XML-Dev.
