"the richness of what could have been a complex, global semilattice atrophied into a circle-like shape made up of a few central nodes. Information in this arrangement resembles a closed loop, and the user is often just carried by the stream."

yeah complexity is not always something to be abstracted away. i think the comparison to city planning is good. overdesigned spaces often become inhuman and  oppressive bc they try to remove the messiness of organic life

Finally got to reading this. Appreciate the framing of cities / the internet as semilattice. 

In a way, I guess it reflects the difference between top-down or bottom-up approaches to develop complexity/structure. The latter—being more organic and decentralised—tends to have more overlaps and resilience.
