Primes¶
- Data Structure
- Second, the choice has consequences far beyond efficiency: a taxonomy, a filing system, an org chart, an archive, an interface contract, a legal code, and a user interface are data structures in human practice, each privileging certain navigations and lookups and making others structurally painful, so that bureaucratic friction, scientific blind spots, and design failures are often the predictable cost of a chosen arrangement rather than incidental flaws.
This sourceArgues that abstractions such as data structures are general intellectual tools whose framing carries from computing into other domains.
