Software patterns … from the 9th century?!!
summary
Claim: changing fallow from half to a third yields 33% more food but deployment requires crop shifts to nitrogen‑fixing legumes, new tools like a heavier plow (carruca), different draft animals, new yokes and horseshoes, and land and social reorganization. The upgrade took nearly two centuries because dependencies cascade, cycles form, and infrastructure and ownership must change. The concrete surprise is not the idea but the count of required adaptations and how many of them must be built and proven before the gain materializes.
