I am starting to shape a new book project around the idea of the Area of Normal Functioning — ANF.
The goal is to develop ANF as a broader framework for understanding how systems, people, and organizations function, change, adapt, and grow.
This idea started for me in technical areas such as robotics, IT performance analysis, anomaly detection, change detection, and trend detection. But I now see its possible application much more broadly — including human behavior, organizations, comfort zones, and social change.
I shared some initial thoughts here:
“Starting a Book Project: The Area of Normal Functioning”
This is the beginning of a longer journey, and I plan to use my blog to document the progress.
