Complexity theory, huh? Now you're talking.

Adaptive/emergent - okay okay. So we have to get rid of the clockwork insides first, for as long as they are rusting there there's no way we're gonna change. Besides, coffee just rusts them all the more.

Hmmm. So we have to get rid of the structure and replace it with what? And who legislates (approves) that this change takes place? I fear!

I fear, you are discussing all this with the wrong person for change to take place where I work. I've yet to smell any aorma of coffee, but I'm awake, and not with the coffee.
