Robustness allows systems to tolerate external perturbations from "summary" of Complexity by Mitchell M. Waldrop
One key characteristic of complex systems is their ability to withstand external disruptions or perturbations. This attribute, known as robustness, is essential for the resilience and stability of a system in the face of unexpected challenges. Robustness allows a system to maintain its functionality and integrity in the presence of various disturbances, whether they come from the environment, other interacting systems, or internal factors.
When a system is robust, it can absorb or adapt to changes without undergoing catastrophic failure. This flexibility is crucial for complex systems that operate in dynamic and uncertain environments, where unexpected events are the norm rather than the exception. By being robust, a system can continue to function effectively even when faced with disruptions that would cause less resilient systems to break down.
Robustness is not just about withstanding perturbations; i...
