resistentsust
Resistentsust is a proposed index used to describe how well a system withstands degradation under sustained perturbations. In theory, the concept combines elements of resistance—the ability to withstand an insult without change—and durability—the capacity to maintain function over time in the presence of persistent stress. As a theoretical construct, resistentsust has been discussed across disciplines such as materials science, ecology, and organizational studies to compare long‑term robustness under continuous pressure.
Etymology and scope: The term resistentsust is a portmanteau of resist and sustain, signaling a focus on
Operational definition and measurement: In practice, resistentsust is represented by an index r in [0,1] where
Applications and examples: In materials science, resistentsust could compare creep resistance among alloys. In ecology, it
Limitations: Resistentsust is a theoretical construct with no global standard definition, making cross‑study comparisons difficult. Values
