			== Software plumbing and "Frankenstein systems" ==

			The solutions for subsystems that are being tied together often where originally never built to work together because '''historic reasons''' like:

			* Before the individual solutions where created the combined problem wasn't even known to exist.
			* In case the combined problem was known to exist from the start it might just have been to hard or unprofitable to tackle as a whole for the later creator of some individual sub-solution(s).

			Tying individual sub-solutions together nevertheless without fundamental and pervasive redesign can create a very problematic legacy of [[software plumbing]] and "[[Frankenstein system]]s".

			In CAD & BIM the most used software packages are often '''proprietary and closed source'''. This allows little to no internal restructuring by third parties which could mend the software plumbing nightmare at least a little.

			When having the opportunity for doing system design from scratch
			(whick may or may not be the case for the development of gem-gum factories)
			one very much wants to avoid a repetition of the creation of such "[[Frankenstein system]]s".
			This will require fundamental paradigm shifts in programming.
			Specifically: A switch will be necessary to new [[programming languages]] that have higher compositional power than languages that follow the [[object oriented paradigm]].

			Examples for some "Frankenstein systems" today (state 2017):
			* proprietary BIM software conglomerates (to investigate)
			* open source CAD software conglomerates (e.g. FreeCAD ...)
			* ... there are most certainly many more ...

			=== BIM (building information management) ===

			While the modeling of the whole life cycle of buildings (BIM) on the outside is a pretty different problem compared to the design of gem-gum factories there are several parallels. Supply of energy, raw materials and information, transport logistics (elevators), waste removal, ...
			Just as with the the parallels to biological systems the metabolism analogies are only superficial.
