That is interesting. I will bookmark that. I'm focused on process/thread reset, as I think the 10,000 year small programs we have been running as a "taker" culture has pushed us so far out of alignment that we need to wait for collapse to form a better ruleset. For lack of a better frame, that would be "leaver" culture.(Murphy, Tom. 2024. Metastatic Modernity) (Quinn, Daniel. 1992. Ishmael) As I mentioned in my other comment, this does intersect with your ideas further up the stack.
@daviding anyway it is a good list
