The document discusses the concept of "Agile Architecture" and whether it is an oxymoron. It explores Agile Architecture as an architectural process, flavor, or behavior. The author argues that Agile Architecture should mean "Architectural Intelligence" - the ability of a system to monitor, optimize, and heal itself through techniques like event sourcing and simplification. This would allow for operational intelligence, adaptive strategies, and automatic error removal.
