Chapter 9
Following Distance
Buffers are not waste. They are how flow survives surprise.
The questionWhere is your safety distance, and what is it telling you right now?
Well-placed buffers make flow reliable in the face of ordinary, expected variation, and they also show where to act.
The scene this idea comes from is Chapter 9 of the book, available now.
You do not have to wait for it. A different chapter, The Mathematics of Flow, is already finished and ready to read: it is the one where the whole logic of the book becomes visible, and it stands on its own.
I will ask you one question back: which sentence in it describes something you are living through right now?
