I assume this graphic is influenced by the excellent bigmedium.com/ideas/design.... But or has always bothered me that it’s the inner planets are the ones that spin faster, so in our Solar system it‘s the other way around.
Im a big fan of pace / shear layers, but I don't quite follow this logic. Or what 'intelligence' is supposed to represent. AI? As a dev, file formats are something that change between app versions. They are not ingrained learnings, by any measure.

hm. at first glance I liked it but on 2nd thought is this not conflating mechanisms? it seems to me "intelligence" is the core of what humanity does. knowledge, the dynamic societal system. the whole reason you are creating some artefact. lower layers (platform/format) are representation mechanism
Oof, trouble understanding this infographic. Have blogpost about it?
