Adaptability as Function of Entropy and How Judo Can Help with Agile Adoption
"Emptiness". The last word of a legendary judo sensei Kyuzo Mifune that he wrote as a message for the next generations of judokas. As Agile already borrowed the Shu Ha Ri principle from martial arts, I want to dive a bit deeper into this idea and later call this 'emptiness' as 'openness'. Entropy. There's no system in the universe that spontaneously decreases its entropy. Everything in the world is heading towards the state of maximum entropy. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. This came to my mind when I was thinking about why people love processes, rules and algorithms so much that they still tend to create new ones when those existing don't work in particular situation. Rules decreases entropy. Does the need of rules come form natural temptation to resit the fate? What Is Entropy Entropy is a measure of uncertainty. The more deterministic system is the lower entropy it has. System with zero entropy is totally predictable. Since I have some image pro...
