A system that diffuses new ideas too quickly creates cacophony.

  • A system that diffuses new ideas too quickly creates cacophony.
    • Ideally, diffusion needs not one decision but lots of decisions, one for each diffusion step.
    • Then it becomes an accretion of decisions to share, not one decision.
    • Instead of one person trying it and then sharing it with everyone, one person tries it, shares it with their neighbors.
    • If it works for their neighbors they retransmit (possibly mutated), and if it doesn't, it dies with them.
