Il “modello open source” oltre ad essere un sistema complesso può essere visto sicuramente come un sistema complesso adattativo.

Divaga un po’ sulla teoria della complessità, modelli, modelli complessi, e modelli complessi adattativi, non necessariamente legati solo al mondo open source ma strettamente legati e derivanti proprio dal nostro mondo e dalla vita stessa. Trattato in termini non troppo complicati e molto interessante.

That’s simply not how things work: people aren’t that smart – nobody is. And what open source allows is to not actually “design” things, but let them evolve, through lots of different pressures in the market, and having the end result just continually improve.” Tags open source internet society development communities collaboration web 3.0 [...]

Maybe nobody at all understands the big picture, but evolution doesn’t require global understanding

That’s a great insight.
Open design allows complexity in such way that the very people who join the buliding of something may not fully understand it. But it works anyway.
