This is totally accurate from my perspective. A lot of the comments in the article make it seem like there's an obvious solution to this problem. But in reality, manufacturing is not "solved" by any means.

My hypothesis is that this is because manufacturing is currently modeled as a list of deterministic steps in a table instead of as a stochastic set of nodes and edges.

If anyone would like to work on this problem, please reach out. Here's our (WIP) repo:

YES. Someone else who understands!

I will take a look, as very few people (even experienced manufacturing engineers of the highest pedigree and skill) seem to grasp this intuition.

Thanks! I think it's because you can't visualize it.

Here's my super basic attempt at an explanation: https://gist.github.com/barbinbrad/11c651fbf412ec00506fce153...
