idea

Agents of a system can be combined in parallel or in series.

Parallelizing is increasing potential, while serialization is increasing intensity (current). Total power is the same.

This is applicable of course to electricity (putting batteries in parallel to increase potential or in series to increase current).

It is also applied to networks where serialization is achieved by creating buses, and parallelization is achieved by creating topics.

It is also applied to teams, where serialization is achieved by focusing several people's effort on a single stream/task, and parallelization is achieved by assigning people to different work streams.
