The vogue for it is tied into a techno-hippy line of reasoning that favours evolution ("bottom-up") over design ("top-down").

He is advancing a new genre of journalism that shows how market forces and economic reasoning shape the evolution of sports.
This leads to the idea of adding a temporal dimension to a logic designed to reason about such models, that is to enrich the logical language with temporal operators suitable for reasoning about the evolution of the models over time.
