Thought about the definition of design.
Every system has inherent complexity that cannot be eliminated. Design is the work of distributing this complexity as efficiently as possible across the limited components of the various elements involved in the system (networked computers and networked humans)—memory, CPUs, human memory, cognition, attention, bodies, environments, and the latency, bandwidth, and accuracy of information channels between entities—and relating those elements beneficially. In doing so, designers should think in terms of the functions or roles the elements actually perform within the overall system, rather than their physical properties.
