Living Metaphor
The vision for this century is to create
computer systems and teams that are literally alive

Working Papers: Living Metaphor of Computer Systems – In the Small Living Metaphor of Computer Systems – In the large Living Metaphor of Organizations Investigations as a foundation for a Living Metaphor of
computing Pattern Languages as Autocatalytic Systems |
This website is dedicated to the study and application of living
metaphors – the patterns of life, to computer systems and human
organizations. |
The main Goals of this project are to study: The patterns of life Conceptual and theoretical models for the application of
Complexity Science in computing and human organizations practical applied self-organization in software and teams |
|
WILD PREDICTIONS: 1)
There will be a time
in the near future where artificial life will be common applied
technology. 2)
Entire trillion
dollar markets will be created around this new technology. This technology eventually will be
considered normal computing. 3)
All human
organizations will try to emulate the patterns of life -- from Governments
and its institutions, to entire companies to software teams. 4)
Complexity
Principles will be taught at the same level as Basic Language skills (e.g.
reading and writing in English) and Mathematics. |
Software Agility can be understood as
the application of the patterns of life to software and software development |
|
|
This will turn into a book at some
point, but as of now, I haven’t talked to a publisher and therefore it is
just a living document trying to self-organize itself
