The English word "paradigm" comes from the ancient Greek word "παράδειγμα""pattern, example". In modern Greek, "paradigm" and "pattern" are this same word.

The word "paradigm" became popular in the 1960's due to the book by Thomas Kuhn who defined a paradigm shift as a radical change in the way one thinks about and solves a problem.

Paradigm shifts involve new concepts and often require one to think outside the box. One saying about change in relation it paradigms is that "shift happens".
The modern Greek word "παράδειγμα" (pa-RA-thee-gma) ≈ "pattern, paradigm".

4. Errors and changes
Observed and desired behaviorThe definition of an error and a desired change is very similar.
Both an error and a change are a difference between the observed behavior and the expected or desired behavior.

To identify an error requires a specification and one should not use the operational code (in programming, or reality in general) as a specification.

6. Kuhn: Nature of scientific revolutions
The structure of scientific revolutionsA difficult type of change in organizations involves people. In general, it can take many lifetimes for ideas to change, since people tend to retain ideas far past the time when those ideas have been replaced by newer ideas. This is a central idea in Kuhn's book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions".
It is well documented and established (e.g. Kuhn's book "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions") that new ideas take a long while to be adopted, for everyone but even more so for scientists, when one has held a previous idea.
