One benefit is the decoupling of data and application. It lowers the cost of integration and the cost of change. Another is the improved data governance. <br/><br/>A third one is the gain in flexibility. <br/><br/>The same logic can be expressed with different rule structures. To illustrate this point, I constructed a graph of four simple rules that can express the same logic in a dozen different configurations. I took six of them to compare them. So we have six deterministic systems that, given the same input (graph of asserted triples), produce the same output (graph of inferred triples). <br/><br/>Yet these six systems differ in their performance, fault tolerance, and cost of change.<br/><br/>The results are interesting not just for what they tell us about the use of this particular technology (#SHACL), but for system engineering in general, beyond graphs and rules. <br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/14586cc37adaae2b9696489d8265501c4b05e8d917d63057b80a0fad6746ca57.png"> <br/><br/>Details in the new L&amp;T post<br/><br/><a href="https://www.linkandth.ink/p/rules-on-graphs-in-graphs-of-rules-993">https://www.linkandth.ink/p/rules-on-graphs-in-graphs-of-rules-993</a> 2026-01-20T11:39:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2t2q460vj3fqzamdmg0ng8wpccr8gza3gxqv0yfhrlm9slnx2xtczyr7emv225h5auwz7n2em08fccjzw36yghzs7t48d36dntw077898xuejuy5 Now starts my third year on Substack<br/><br/>Some stats for 2025:<br/><br/>✍️17 essays, 45K words (39 overall, 98K words)<br/><br/>📜The longest (6.7k words): Beyond Decentralization, <a href="https://www.linkandth.ink/p/beyond-decentralization">https://www.linkandth.ink/p/beyond-decentralization</a><br/><br/> 📜The shortest (882 words) : Work-life balance? <a href="https://www.linkandth.ink/p/work-life-balance">https://www.linkandth.ink/p/work-life-balance</a><br/><br/> 🥇Most viewed and liked (2025 and all time): Requisite Inefficiency, <a href="https://www.linkandth.ink/p/requisite-inefficiency">https://www.linkandth.ink/p/requisite-inefficiency</a> 2026-01-07T17:50:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0hr0zdardseu8f5cuk5wkwgpse7jepxpmt0qf0zryx9khpvjapyczyr7emv225h5auwz7n2em08fccjzw36yghzs7t48d36dntw077898xvkpmkd My 2nd year on Substack<br/><br/>Some stats for 2025: <br/><br/>✍️17 essays, 45K words <br/><br/>📜The longest (6.7k): Beyond Decentralization, <a href="https://www.linkandth.ink/p/beyond-decentralization">https://www.linkandth.ink/p/beyond-decentralization</a><br/><br/>📜The shortest (882 ) : Work-life balance? <a href="https://www.linkandth.ink/p/work-life-balance">https://www.linkandth.ink/p/work-life-balance</a><br/><br/>🥇Most viewed and liked: Requisite Inefficiency, <a href="https://www.linkandth.ink/p/requisite-inefficiency">https://www.linkandth.ink/p/requisite-inefficiency</a> 2025-12-30T17:42:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspe6wn5y4th592ygf3v3gt5ls5xlgnnuqjfrt46g9a3k2fa77ud2czyr7emv225h5auwz7n2em08fccjzw36yghzs7t48d36dntw077898xlppcru Fourth post (<br/><a href="https://www.linkandth.ink/p/universal-data-facade-part-1">https://www.linkandth.ink/p/universal-data-facade-part-1</a><br/>) in the Containment series (<br/><a href="https://www.linkandth.ink/p/containment-series">https://www.linkandth.ink/p/containment-series</a><br/>) 2025-10-21T19:17:24Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv5vuqghp0z299fasqgayzahaaemzec5sma233e9dnvyxup7sqaygzyr7emv225h5auwz7n2em08fccjzw36yghzs7t48d36dntw077898xn06r52 And here&#39;s the recording<br/><br/><a href="https://youtu.be/uFKNYM4CgrM">https://youtu.be/uFKNYM4CgrM</a><br/><br/>#protocols #platforms <br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqsyw79jnehp2qtfgsff267n4hl6gxyzpvzku62hz3jw6r6ftw3m6rqzyr7emv225h5auwz7n2em08fccjzw36yghzs7t48d36dntw077898xqcyqqqqqqgvxwjyh" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…wjyh</a></span> </div> It's 50y since the publication of Platform for Change by Stafford Beer, so the title of my talk at this year's Metaphorum (an annual conference for developing Beer's legacy) was Protocols for Change.

Power asymmetries tend to find new shapes and forms, which are difficult to detect in the early stages and nearly impossible to change later on. They were latent in Twitter as long as it had benevolent dictators. When that changed, there was and a flow of energy into the decentralized media and decentralized movements. It didn&#39;t take long before fragmentation set in. (Bateson would call that phenomenon &#34;schismogenesis,&#34; In hashtag#LoF terms, there was a re-entry of the centralization/decentralization distinction decentralization.) <br/><br/>Since decentralized protocols are a direct manifestation of the value of their proponents and builders, they have given new fuel to the ongoing decentralization discourse. So we have extreme decentralists and others supporting hybrid, switching, and other flavors.<br/><br/>However, there are two fundamental problems with the decentralization discourse:<br/>1. Decentralization tends to become a surrogate of the motivation for it and a goal in itself.<br/>2. Decentralization is too neat to absorb the messy social world.<br/><br/>Preventing power asymmetries is a cause worth fighting for. But decentralization is not a good hill to die on. You may not be able to imagine how power asymmetries can be avoided without decentralization, but lack of imagination is not an argument. <br/><br/>Details in my latest article <a href="https://www.linkandth.ink/p/beyond-decentralization">https://www.linkandth.ink/p/beyond-decentralization</a><br/><br/>#decentralized #protocols 2025-02-11T09:47:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsyevsf7x6j734mmksfj6zp66rtm9lv00xlgumtxta4qenzn6mv24czyr7emv225h5auwz7n2em08fccjzw36yghzs7t48d36dntw077898xg6ja5u Just realized that the W in 4U test (4U2P and other variants) is how technology appears in the test and this is in line with the autopoietic view of technology proposed by André Reichel (work/fail code, following the principle of the Luhmannian functional differentiation of society)<br/><br/>There will be more that and on the two Ps.<br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzplvak992t6w78p0f4vahn5uvfp8gazyt3g096nkcaxe4h8l0rjnnqqsqrwdze5j6v3f7qh4refcde7hyaydkxau6h282fhp7t3gee2u3xwszsw57u" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…w57u</a></span> </div> An enterprise-wide transformation can be successful if it brings something that works and is useful.
