  1. The Endocrine system breaks modularity . . . . what to do? ¯\(°_0)/¯

      i.e. the eyeball sees FSH, the eyeball doesn't need to grow hair . . . broken modularity, to the max \o/

      Not my subject, excuse ignorance, but I can't see why the eyeball should "send a request" for SFH. Are you saying that if one module demands, say, FSH, they all get it? If so, then I would expect there to be some selector mechanism to ensure only the module requiring the hormone receives it. Something like data fed into memory via a bus gets addressed and only ends up in one location. As I say, not knowledgeable just interested.

      It doesn't FSH is released in the blood stream for everyone to see, hence my point.

       

      There is, it is called a receptor or binding protein. This doesn't excuse the system at all from breaking modularity.

       

      It reminds me of when I started programming my engine. The first thing I did was create a singleton array that posted system wide messages to everyone. A lot of programmers gave me shit for doing that so I stopped.
