Article: Comprehension as an Architectural Characteristic: A System That Is Not Understood Cannot Evolve Safely
As AI increasingly commoditizes code output, system comprehension is silently eroding, creating a critical risk of cognitive debt that hinders safe architectural evolution. This article, "Comprehension as an Architectural Characteristic," argues that human understanding must be treated as a foundational element of system design. Meintjes, Rengaswamy, Katsande, and Bikki offer actionable strategies, metrics, and design checkpoints to preserve intent across modern engineering teams.

Article: Enabling Evolutionary Architecture Through the Preservation of Change Locality
Why do seemingly minor features trigger complex cross-team negotiations? This article, "Enabling Evolutionary Architecture Through the Preservation of Change Locality," explores how boundary drift erodes change locality, increasing cognitive load. Authors Michael Fischer, Nicholas Lawrence, and Monica Karekar present practical sociotechnical strategies—redistributing mechanics, exposing essential policy, and rehearsing exception paths—to restore domain boundaries and foster a truly evolutionary software architecture.
