Qualitative Complexity

The field of ethnography counters the anonymity of a constitute of a system. It slows down the assembly line and asks for thoughtfulness and attention. Findings from this process should then back-propagate to the logic that drives the system.

Complexity on other hand is the science of emergence, the discipline where connectivity trumps rules and agency drives emergent behavior, more so than design.
