Today, the virtual DOM, along with other evolutions like continuous deployment and feature flagging indicate that the web is again becoming a different idea.
In place of pages and screens, complex and continuous apps now deal with an order of magnitude more system states, representing a massive increase in complexity and state explosion. Along with this complexity comes a higher possibility of introducing faults in the design process. I use the term Fault Design to suggest a methodology of uncovering faults or failu
