Software Architecture Is Fractal (read only if you're bored)

So @EricGT @mitchell_d00 what do we do with that? Any ideas how to test the concept “fast and dirty” to see if:

1. Architecture can be captured at several levels by recursive questioning of “units”
2. Architecture can be converted into an object with a state
3. State can be reasoned about
4. State changes can be detected
5. State changed can be reasoned about to spot “drift”

Would love your ideas here
