Does the snowflake strive for scalability? Does the snowflake dream of becoming an avalanche? No, the snowflake focuses on being itself. And each snowflake is unique, or so we are told. Reality is fractal and holographic in nature. Scalability isn't something to be achieved. It simply happens. Perhaps a more important concept than scalability is functional simplicity. We want solutions that are simple, modular, and can be adapted to different contexts.
