It has to be able to mediate all sorts of complex interactions between components and decide which are permissible. All those components have state and all that state has to be managed. > I say once again, MORE complexity is LESS security. I'd like to see a mathematical proof of that, but I don't believe it's ever been done. Intutively it is true which is why important systems are kept simple. Unfortunately simple systems are not capable of being your desktop. > That's why complex systems (civilizations, societies, economies, financials, > computing, etc) are inevitably destined to fail or fall. Failure is a necessary part of progress. It's called learning. Without failure you have stasis.
