The complexity of a problem can sometimes be reduced by cleverly changing its representation. A seemingly intractable problem might become easily solvable with a different perspective.

In computer science, structures (or structs) can be nested—meaning a structure can contain another structure as a member, creating complex data organizations.

In audio engineering, feedback is often unwanted, but it's the fundamental principle behind electric guitars' characteristic sustain and distortion.

Microsoft Dynamics 365's roots trace back to the early 1990s with the release of Great Plains Software's accounting software, which eventually became a core component of the Dynamics ERP suite.

Autopoiesis, the property of a system to maintain itself, isn't limited to living organisms; some computer models have also demonstrated autopoietic characteristics.

Synergy, in a business context, doesn't always mean a perfectly harmonious collaboration. Sometimes, the "synergy" is just the sum of individual efforts, not a truly multiplicative effect.

Some distributed systems use a technique called "gossip protocols" where nodes randomly exchange information with each other, eventually ensuring that all nodes have a consistent view of the system state, even without a central authority.
