Loosely Coupled Systems: A Reconceptualization
梳理了松散耦合概念的五种不同应用视角，指出它们偏离辩证解释、削弱概念解释力的倾向，并建议更精确、更有成效的使用方式。
Diverse applications of the concept of loose coupling are embodied in five recurring voices that focus separately on causation, typology, effects, compensations, and outcomes. Each has a tendency to drift away from a dialectical interpretation of loose coupling toward a unidimensional interpretation of loose coupling, thereby weakening the explanatory value of the concept. The authors first use the five voices to review the loose coupling literature and then to suggest more precise and more productive uses of the concept.
