An Introduction to Residuality Theory

Have you heard of #ResidualityTheory?

It’s about stressing naive architectures to reveal hidden “attractors” in complex business systems - helping designs adapt and thrive amid change and uncertainty.

📘 InfoQ spoke with Barry O’Reilly to dive deep into this concept.

Intrigued by Barry O'Reilly's #ResidualityTheory that seems grounded on a shared experience in approaching solutions in new domains, applying random stressors for improving our approach to solution architecture, #criticality and thinking of some sort of variety engineering described by Kauffman Networks @ewolff https://software-architektur.tv/2025/09/19/episode279.html

Designing the #SoftwareArchitecture of a system from a superimposed state of what might be, gradually collapsing required properties and related design where we feel sufficiently confident like a #WaveFunctionCollapse, challenging our confidence with potential stressors from #ResidualityTheory & propagating the resulting constraints into the remaining superimposed state.

Do We Work in Pipelines?
We all want to build better software faster and more reliably. Many valuable simple improvements in code practice, design and process are easy to spot from outside the team or organisation but it is always challenging to know what the best thing to work on is day-to-day.

External impetuses from consultants, managers, consultant reports or even customers are not

Do We Work in Pipelines? - Richard Bown

Our software is ready to fail but we just don't know it yet. I believe that features don't flow through a delivery system.
