Method and Structure

Arrangements of bits have structure just like arrangements of atoms have structure. Interoperability is about aligning structure. Processing, properties, performance – if their characterization can be repeated, they have information structure.

All structure is created by a process. Any process that can be repeated is a method. Every method—indeed, every process—itself has a structure.1
