The same output from a bottom up process is more resilient than the same output from a top down process.

  • The same output from a bottom up process is more resilient than the same output from a top down process.
    • Even if they are superficially similar.
    • Because the process that generated the bottom-up outcome is an auto-adaptive process.
    • For example, consider a mall vs the 'businesses' on a cruise ship.
    • A top down process says "we should have an ice cream shop".
    • A bottom up process says "of the applicants for the space, this one is the best"
    • The latter creates coherent pluralism.
