Welcome to Hypermodern.
Defeating clouds. Dismantling data.
Complex Systems represent large-scale interconnects of heterogenous components, adaptive agents, and nonlinear actors. In modern usage, these are often networks-of-networks or systems-of-systems with multi-scale feedback and emergent behaviour.
The canonical example is an ecosystem which supervenes cyber-physical infrastructure with socio-technical utilization and smart-assets.
Many new and emerging technologies are defined by their integrated and connected nature. The attributes of a complex system arise in most disruptive and ubiquitous spaces:
* Cyber-Physical Assets/Infrastructure; Smart-Grids, Smart-Fleets.
* Industrie 4.0; Smart-factories, Lights-out facilities, Printed-Edge.
* Autonomous Vehicle Networks; Infrastructure & Traffic Management.
* Unmanned Airspace; Integrity-as-a-Service, Smart-Corridors.
* Blockchain Logistics; Smart-Auctions, Agile Markets.
* Integrated "2.0" Frameworks; Health/Transport/Agri/Government.
* IoT; Sensors, Devices, Everything,
The increasing complexity of engineered systems is driving a phase-transition known as the hypermodern era.
This era is marked by topological dynamics, network articulations, and configuration spaces that outpace data-driven analytics and even invalidate most KPI/insights.
By 2025, many complex systems will no longer derive new value from data. Data only gets you so far.
