Software Diagnostics Library

While reading Software Studies: A Lexicon (Leonardo Books) I came upon an article about Concurrent Versions System written by Simon Yuill. It features a patched quotation from Proudhon:

“The highest perfection of society is found in the union of order and anarchy.” ->

-> “The highest perfection of software is found in the union of order and anarchy.”

Therefore, a bugtation as paradigmatic substitution can be seen as specialised topical patching. It is also augmented with topical coloring:

“The highest perfection of” debugging “is found in the union of order and anarchy.”

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, What is Property?

Double patching now?
