Decentralized systems can grow quickly 13
Empowered execution enables effective adaptation to threats and opportunities 12
When attacked, decentralized systems tend to become moreso 12
Optimization aims to hold a system in an optimal state 11
Complex adaptive systems are unpredictable and non-linear 10
Diversity of a system affects resilience 10
Resilience is the capacity to absorb shocks and retain function 10
Resilient systems require both specified and general resilience 9
Systems cannot be held in an optimal state 9
Modularity of a system affects resilience 8
Optimizing a system reduces its resilience 8
Adaptability is the capacity of actors to manage the resilience of a system 7
Resilience is the distance between the system and its nearest threshold 7
Systems of nature tend to follow an adaptive cycle 7
Consistency of rigid management processes decreases flexibility 6
Tightness of feedback loops affects a system’s resilience 6
All linked adaptive cycles govern the behavior of a system 5
Increasing efficiency tends to lock up a system 5
Proximity to a threshold decreases the shock required to cross it 5
Specified resilience defends against known disturbances 5
