A Complex System That Works

“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.

The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work.

You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.”

The above, known as Gall’s Law, makes good sense doesn’t it?

Perhaps another way:  if you can get the simple part right, you’ve done something.  And not until then.
