And the chaos will become more pronounced, more diverse. It'll begin to sound more like a biological system than a mathematical system. There will be fewer monolithic pieces of software. Most of any "application" will be mostly on one machine, tightly interwoven, but there will be parts that are kind of loose. It'll be very dynamic, with a lot of failures. Deutsch's seven fallacies will dominate. We need to prepare for this.
