Non-linearity, non-algorithms, Turmites and Turing Machines.

...
IT environments, except for some trivial applications, are now open and heterogeneous (the resources involved are unalike and their availability is not warranted), dynamic (the pace of exogenous and endogenous changes is high) and uncertain (both information and its processing rules are revisable, fuzzy, uncertain and intrinsically non-deterministic - as every stimuli generator). Indeed, in the Internet era of "computing as interaction" [...], deterministic applications are practically vanishing.
