There are two primary approaches to creating something: bottom-up design and top-down design . Top-down design is often seen in architecture. People do not build bricks randomly; instead, they follow the design drawings created by the architect. This method executes a plan that has already been established. When asked why something is built in a certain way, the answer is usually that the blueprint dictates its design. Conversely, bottom-up design does not start with a fixed goal, but rather involves setting and implementing small, actionable rules. For example, termite nests follow this approach. Small termites have a simple rule: to pile up soil. They do this without knowing the reason, but over time, the finished structure is remarkable and sophisticated. The appearance of the Sagrada Familia church , designed by Antoni Gaudà and still under construction, closely resembles a termite nest, differing only in size.

It doesn’t stop at change but also significantly influences other elements and the surrounding environment. Just like the slightest movement of an Amazon butterfly can trigger a storm across the Pacific Ocean. We live in a world where even small changes can have major impacts and outcomes. Recognizing the threshold before a shift occurs can help us prepare for hardships and alert us to danger. These thresholds exist in various fields that make up our world. It’s just that we often don’t know or suspect them. Surviving in this era is an achievement. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
