After looking at Tom's ref on FB about teaching Military thinking to 2020 election security infrastructure in democracies ( https://apnews.com/222bd1402c96bc487f5a0a2dc5bff12c?fbclid=IwAR2PSR8UxoSlEoulaar8ITN1vRNRChd34VVgcU6WMNM4vOwnaEmr0eFOsQw )

I recalled an  STO (Strategic Technology Office) article on MOSAIC from a couple years back.

There's a bunch of stuff about weaponizing complexity, and whether one approves or not, it is worth knowing about.

“If we’re successful,” Burns said, “mosaic warfighting and resulting effects webs will give us the ability to inflict vast levels of complexity on an adversary to deter and counter aggression.”

"Inflicting Complexity..." . Always suspected, but ......hmmmm.
