As these systems evolve, the number of inputs and outputs generally increases.
Each time a new node is added to the network, the number of potential
connections required scales exponentially
Furthermore, because there is only one standard, there is no incentive for
innovation, which means that the system cannot evolve.
Single standards are notoriously difficult to overcome or dislodge, even when
they become ludicrously inefficient, as is the case with the Western “QWERTY”
keyboard layout.
the system has great difficulty overcoming its own internal structure and
adapting to the change.
Complex systems of this type, that are too loosely structurally coupled,
maximize their openness to innovation but do so entirely at the cost of being
able to exploit those innovations when they are useful
a panarchy
The bow-tie structure manages these tensions by occupying an “edge of chaos”
zone in between too much rigidity and too much flexibility, between too little
diversity, and too much.
There is a need to capitalize on potential efficiencies in one’s current
environment while at the same time remaining flexible enough to adapt if the
environment changes
confusing the necessary cluster of evolving core elements with a “standard
Future networks operate on multiple standards in the core — optimal levels of
infrastructure arrived at by open innovation in the periphery that makes its way
into the core as adoption and usage increase.
