Algorithms are the foundation of how a system functions. A system is a large structure where each component is connected by a specific energy that forms relationships, and the entire system moves in a set direction. Understanding an algorithm provides insight into the system, how it operates, and its overall direction. However, creating an algorithm requires the system creator to take a risk and pay a price for the entire system. That’s why designing an algorithm isn’t easy, even though using one is simple. Once an algorithm is developed, system members become reliant on it. The way to break this reliance is to either discard the algorithm or develop a new one. Knowing which system you belong to and how it functions is extremely important. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Vaccines have allowed people to travel worldwide. Migration and population density are benefits of vaccines. When vaccines failed to curb the epidemic, the “space” ultimately addressed the epidemic. This history is why maintaining “social distance” is essential. Hunting requires one million square meters to secure a person’s livelihood, but urbanization restricts many individuals from accessing such vast spaces. On the other hand, if agriculture can address livelihood needs with just 500 square meters, and its efficiency can increase by 2,000 times, then the perspective on the epidemic reveals insights about civilization. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Architecture has developed in response to the epidemic. The city was designed to mitigate the risk of outbreaks. However, its high population density renders it susceptible to epidemics. A potential solution to this issue involves the construction of a water supply and sewage system, which safeguards individuals from waterborne infectious diseases (e.g., cholera) by effectively separating and burying water and sewage underground. Nonetheless, the advent of vaccines has facilitated the existence of megacities with populations exceeding 10 million people. Indeed, microorganisms predominantly populate the Earth. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
