Noticing that “medium things are hard” may be brain-teasing, interesting, but it “just happens” on your way in science (physics in my case). In science however you just move on. Solve some equations, make some generalization – if it is possible, or – like in this case – put sticker “too hard to really invest my time” and leave.

I would say that “medium things” are responsible for occurrence of “butterfly effects” – and THAT is important thing to see – on many levels.

If I would consider this three things: “medium size”, “butterfly effect” (caused by medium size), and IT (especially problems in IT) it’s worth to see that in small system you just don’t have enough domino pieces, and in really big there is enough other bricks on your way to stop bigger problems.

I’m looking for some clue, but the only one which comes to my mind is just “see it!”. And maybe that’s enough. Because when you see that you’re going to fall into “medium numbers” field you know that either:
- you should split your problem into smaller parts
- or you should get bigger – gather more issues together

And that’s probably clue I was looking for
Thanks for your post.

“For medium number systems, we can expect that large fluctuations, irregularities, and discrepancy with any theory will more or less regularly.”

I’m guessing it’s “will *occur* more”?
