Description: In my previous work, “A behavioural model for the discussion of resilience, elasticity, and antifragility,” I discussed resilience as the emerging result of the dynamic interplay between the behaviors exercised by a system and those of the environment it is set to operate in. Then, in my latest work, “On ambients as systemic exoskeletons: Crosscutting optimizers and antifragility enablers,” I introduced a “horizontal” and a “vertical classification” of systems. The idea in this second paper is that any system may be considered at the same time a “whole”, a set of “parts”, and a nested compositional hierarchy of functional nodes. By applying the idea of the first paper to this second idea of a system’s horizontal and vertical classifications, I thought of resilience / antifragility as the emergent result of concurrent behavioral interplays taking place across the involved systems’ wholes / sets of parts / hierarchies of nodes.
