I was at my doctor and even he was talking about “The Cloud.”  And of course I am thinking to myself (accent and all) the famous words of Inigo Montoya, “You keep using that word, but I do not think it means what you think it means.”

So we cooked up a graphic to describe Cloudiness.  Generally, cloudiness is driven by the ability to scale by abstraction.

More later on how total cloudiness applies (if at all to energy trading).
