Which in a world of standards, is even more surprising advice,
but nonetheless, sage.
The moeboid of weird brings us back to 'coupling' (verb) as
the intensional act of creating a dependency where the degree is set
according to the complexity of creating and maintaining the coupling (noun)
in context (performance/cost determined by system type goal). If plotted
as a polarity, for example:
loose ........... tight
Computer network component systems cluster to the left.
Marital systems cluster to the right.
Political systems and many market systems orbit strangely.
Coupling is a measurable characteristic that can be used
to classify the behavior of generalized networks and therefore,
ecologies. Simple systems that evolve complex behaviors typically
exhibit some form of coupling. In this model, the notion of
intensionality becomes weird.
