Resilience and Adaptability

EightOS — researching interaction
dynamics
1. METHODOLOGY
Embodiment — an effective way to
adopt an approach not only
intellectually, but also on the
level of reflexes.
Systems Theory — talking about
dynamics using the language of
mathematics.
Software — open source
principles, iterative development,
live feedback.
2. CORE PRINCIPLES
Confluence — the ability of the
different flows to merge.

force
• tuning in to the frequency (sync)
• generating disturbances (disrupt)
• amplification (resonance)
• resilience (deflection)
Resilience —  the ability of a
system to maintain its form 
and, at the same time,
to remain flexible.
Google Trends
“resilience” is trending in 2020
Fluid Simulation
fluid dynamics offers a great example of resilience
“be like water”

swarm dynamics is an example of
resilient collective systems

Feigned Retreat
Bystritsky, a, Nierenberg, a a, Feusner, J. D., & Rabinovich, M. (2012).
winnerless competition vs “winner takes all”
Rabinovich, M. I., Huerta, R.,Varona, P., & Afraimovich,V. S. (2008).
Resilience — often based on
fractal variability
Fractal = self-similarity
at every scale

natural body movement in the state of rest is fractal

this is how fractal movement looks like
chaos in animal search patterns
(Reynolds et al 2016)
animals often assume scale-free foraging
intermittent search strategy, short deviations
are mixed with long-range changes
Regeneration — period undulations
sent through a system
Fluid Simulation
Resilient Multiplicities (Networks)
resilient social network vs. densely connected
urgent discourse: one topic overtakes the others
calm times: higher diversity
