Antifragility in Complex Dynamical Systems

Antifragile, the opposite of fragile, is a term that describes systems or organisms that benefit from variability, volatility, and randomness. This concept, with a precise mathematical definition, extends beyond financial risk analysis to various fields. The Applied Antifragility Group proposes three Paths for designing antifragile systems: intrinsic, inherited, and induced antifragility. Intrinsic antifragility focuses on internal dynamics, while inherited antifragility deals with external signals. The interaction between different components and criticality plays a vital role in achieving antifragility in both technical and natural systems, highlighting the importance of system design and adaptation to uncertainty.
