resistentsus
Resistentsus is a term used in resilience theory and complex-systems studies to describe a system's combined capacity to resist perturbations and to maintain its core functions during disruption. The word blends notions of resistance to external shocks with persistence of essential processes, offering a way to discuss stability that emphasizes continuity under stress.
Etymology and scope: The word appears in theoretical discussions as a neologism intended to capture a dual
Definition and characteristics: A high-resistentsus system sustains key outputs, services, or functions even as external conditions
Measurement and applications: Assessing resistentsus involves time-series analyses that compare performance under perturbation to baseline, focusing
Relationship to other concepts: Resistentsus is related to resilience, robustness, and antifragility but emphasizes simultaneous resistance
