Abstract

This paper introduces the Compression–Resonance–Tension Index (CRTI), a macroscopic stability metric for complex adaptive systems. The framework formalizes the concept of singularization and derives the Law of Resonance Erosion using a minimal nonlinear dynamical model. Keywords: complex adaptive systems cybernetics nonlinear dynamics stability theory resonance dynamics

Discussions

• Complex adaptive systems may fail not from chaos, but from excessive compression that erodes adaptive resonance. The #CRTI framework proposes a simple stability metric for detecting when optimizatio [bsky, 3 points, 0 comments]
