If a process can be put in a box it can be optimized.

That can be a fully automatic process.

But we often put things in a box that we shouldn't.

But in the real world, everything is connected to things outside of it.

There are no closed systems, it's just where you by convention decide to render the edges of the box.

The clarity is a comforting illusion.

It can allow you to focus and execute, but those blinders can also prevent you from seeing when you're doing damage.
