  • Human systems do not have publicly available source code, closed source.
  • Understanding how knowledge and concepts are related to each other, just as we understand how functions and variables are intertwined in source code.
  • There are efficient data structures, etc.
  • An example of the correspondence between knowledge of the structure of a program and knowledge of the human system is the [mediator pattern
