I've had a post in thinking for a long time about making a list of "fundamental problems". These "problems" are aspects or patterns that can't be ignored (like the flow of time) and appear in a form or another in most human activities.
So far I found half a dozen categories. But this classification is still unfinished and need to be refined more, so I'll just list some of the bigger ones:
These categories are an attempt to break down problems into axes. But it doesn't look like they can be made orthogonal: if you try to work on communication errors, the problem turns into a trade-off of resource allocation, decision procedure and time constraints.
We're still bad at decentralization
