Adequacy : Moderate and appropriate nature. In the early days of the Roman Empire , Emperor Tiberius hosted a grand feast and invited an inventor. The inventor presented a glass as a gift, and the emperor inquired about its features. When the inventor claimed that the glass was unbreakable , the emperor dropped it on the floor. Only one side was dented, and the emperor touched that spot, restoring it to its original condition. Astonished, the emperor asked the inventor, “Have you ever taught anyone how to make this glass?” The inventor replied, “I did not tell anyone.” Then the emperor ordered his execution because if the recipe for the glass were known, the value of the emperor’s gold and silver treasures would plummet. No matter how excellent something is, it can be the worst depending on the situation and context. That’s why adequacy is essential. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The Roman alphabet constructs words in a single direction by using ordered combinations of 26 distinct letters. DNA also reveals life by altering the sequence of the four bases in one direction: A, G, T, and C. The West has developed novel concepts by combining basic units, while the East has refined them based on relative relationships. For instance, in Asian scripts, Chinese characters can convey different meanings by altering the length or position of a single stroke within a character. These two approaches account for most methods of creating something new. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
