concetto non nuovo, ma molto, molto ben espresso, valido e di sicuro interesse per chi di costruire forchette ha fatto il proprio mestiere. complimenti

I was thinking more in terms of centers, like: build your classes/modules/services around centers as they emerge from the forcefield.
On the other hand, entanglement is one of the forces shaping centers, as entangled centers on one level want to be a center on the next level.
We shape the forcefield through decisions. That's indeed the meta-level, the decision space.
About the difficulty of understanding entanglement in practice: there is still much to be said. I've also been thinking about a short post about intensional vs. extensional knowledge, which is an important concept in understanding the sources of change. It's not a new concept, but I'm not so sure everyone is familiar with it.
Most likely, it's going to be the next in the NOSD series. However, my forthcoming post will be on software design literature (I guess :-)

Modularity aligned with the underlying forcefield is equal to find the least entangled design? I recently thought about entanglement a bit, but it's somehow difficult to really understand where a change in a module can effectively bring modifications to the behaviour of other ones. Shape the forcefield can give a help, but this sounds much like what are you tryng to do for the dichotomy design/forcefield, that can bring us to introduce another meta-level to shape the forcefield :S
It's just some toughts and I know that a designer have to find the point when he only rely on intuition, knowledge and experience, at least if he wants to do his homework on time and on budget ;)
