SOC represents a “critical” edge where systems are vibrant, agile, and on the verge of collapse, yet perfectly functional. This state optimizes information flow, fosters innovation from fluctuations, and exhibits high sensitivity without losing control.https://cuicaihao.github.io/posts/2026-07-17-the-adjacent-possible-how-to-achieve-things-unimaginable-in-advance/Fri, 17 Jul 2026 07:00:00 +1000https://cuicaihao.github.io/posts/2026-07-17-the-adjacent-possible-how-to-achieve-things-unimaginable-in-advance/This blog post introduces “the adjacent possible,” a concept explaining how seemingly unimaginable achievements unfold. Using the career trajectory of Morris Chang, it illustrates that significant breakthroughs often emerge from a series of incremental steps, where realizing one possibility opens the door to the next. The article argues that innovation, be it in personal careers, scientific discoveries, or technological advancements, is fundamentally a process of combinatorial evolution, expanding from existing components and capabilities.
