Gilbert Simondon talks about change & individuation, with a term "allagmatic" or latter I think Yuk Hui re-dedubbed cosmotechnics. The are some lovely reflections on a similar duality, between systems and objects: Simondon reflects that reality is comprised of, depending on point of view, either structures (objects) undergoing operations to become new structures (s-o-s) or operations yielding new structures which in turn shift the system into new operations (o-s-o). In terms of code organization, i do think there's certainly a clarity to DoesTheThing. But as we evolve & change & begin to do different things, or as we have different ideas, there's more allure to shifting power from the script into the entities being scripted, to encompassing more capability & responsibility in the objects. Alas we often bungle up & confuse our object systems quickly- when we make bad picks in a bigger system, they stay with us, where as DoesTheThing will more than likely be replaced or become a cog in some other bigger script; it's faults & limitations stand less chance of becoming visible.
