Paradigm Shift
Wikipedia def. emergence:
"An emergent behaviour or emergent property can appear when a number of simple entities (agents) operate in an environment, forming more complex behaviours as a collective. The property itself is often unpredictable and unprecedented, and represents a new level of the system's evolution."
Thomas Kuhn on Paradigm Shifts:
(from http://www.des.emory.edu/mfp/Kuhn.html)
"Failure of existing rules is the prelude to a search for new ones."
"Novelty emerges only with difficulty, manifested by resistance, against a background provided by expectation.
"All crises begin with the blurring of a paradigm and the consequent loosening of the rules; the awareness and acknowledgment that a crisis exists loosens theoretical stereotypes and provides the incremental data necessary for a fundamental paradigm shift."
"New paradigms arise with destructive changes in beliefs..."
Osama has changed the rules and provided a crisis; the question, then, is where are we going?
