Love and Death
“To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering
one must not love. But then one
suffers from not loving. Therefore,
to love is to suffer; not to love is to
suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be
happy is to love. To be happy,
then, is to suffer, but suffering
makes one unhappy. Therefore,
to be unhappy, one must love or
love to suffer or suffer from too
much happiness.
I hope you're getting this down.”
Love and Death, Woody Allen, 1975

Connascence between two software elements
A and B means either:
1) some change to A would require B to be changed, or
2) some change would require both A and B to be changed together
in order to preserve overall correctness.

Connascence between two software elements
A and B means either:
1) some change to A would require B to be changed,
(or at least carefully checked), or
2) some change would require both A and B to be changed together
in order to preserve overall correctness.

encapsulation boundaries
By breaking the system into
encapsulated elements
By maximising the connascence
within encapsulation boundaries

Ca,b

1. Break the monolith you have into
meaningful encapsulation units
2. Remove the “worst” connascence among
the encapsulation units
3. Find which encapsulation units have
the “most” internal connascence
4. Recurse into each, returning to the
top level after each one
