"lists" is just short hand for components. "Graphs", shorthand for interoperation. The component view is analysis, the interaction view - well we don't have a really good word for that, and yet as the article points out, that is often the attack surface.
Complex adaptive systems (see John Holland's "Hidden Order") have components and a messaging bus which crucially provides a way for the constituent components to interoperate. You can swat ants individually, but if you want to stop them, you destroy the ability to leave pheromone trails.
Maybe there should be a word like "analysis" for understanding how things interoperate. Gestaltysis?
