After abandoning time-based models, many systems fall into new but equally dangerous traps.

Part II.5 documents common failure modes that arise when event-conditioned thinking is misunderstood or superficially applied.

These include false event thresholds, oversized state machines, misused machine learning, and reaction-driven designs disguised as event-driven systems.

This book does not introduce new principles.

It exists to prevent misapplication of the principles introduced in Part II.

If you believe “event-driven” simply means reacting faster or replacing time with thresholds, this book explains why that thinking is structurally wrong.
