27 of 365: Convergence design principle

27 of 365 – Convergence design principle by John LeMasney via lemasney.com

“Natural or human-made systems that best approximate optimal strategies afforded by the environment tend to be successful, while systems exhibiting lesser approximations tend to become extinct. This process results in the convergence of form and function over time. The degree of convergence in an environment indicates its stability and receptivity to different kinds of innovation.” ~ Universal Principles of Design via http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/-/9781592535873/convergence/66
