The vocabulary of large systems and the minds that have to hold them, one term per entry.
Complexity is what a system accumulates as it outgrows any one person’s model of it. Cognitive load is what that accumulation charges the people working inside it. The two compound: the system grows past comprehension, the humans compensate, and the compensations become features of the system. Each entry names one mechanism in that exchange and what to do about it.
Each entry defines the term, names the symptom you have probably already hit, and says what to do. Click any term in the map to read it; entries link on first mention.
Solutions takes the approaches the research recommends and points each at the entries that say what goes wrong when you attempt it.
