If this is a problem please let me know and I will take it down right away.

While there are many other topics to write about, I do look forward to returning to Physics of IT at some point and peel the onion a little by incorporating related concepts from the blogosphere, as well as tools and techniques for application of the concepts identified to date.

I've always used lots of analogies in my consulting, writing and teaching - I think they help enormously. Some of the take-away's for me from the analogy of IT organizational change with the properties of physics are best captured in your excellent mindmap in this post - there are many "moving parts" and they all interact with each other. If you want to change one aspect, you have to consider all the other interconnected aspects. i.e., changes to IT must be holistic and those changes must be made with careful consideration of the unintended consequences of a given change.
