The adaptive cycle as a dynamic map for resilience thinking
By shifting to a relational perspective and paying attention to the ways that life creates conditions conducive to life, both the need for and promise of regenerative cultures become apparent.

Cycles at higher levels of organization tend to proceed more slowly than those at lower levels. This gives the multilevel system its resilience . Rapid low-level turnover enables innovation for adaptation (flexibility), while longer-term dynamics at the higher levels provide the capacity for innovations to accumulate (stability) before more global ...

montre que rien de ce qui est vivant n’est vraiment stable, ni en équilibre. Les systèmes complexes sont plutôt soumis à des dynamiques cycliques. Selon la théorie du cycle adaptatif (et de la panarchie) développée par les écologues C. S. Holling et L. H. Gunderson dès les années 1970 dans le cadre de l’étude de la résilience écologique329, tous le

systems that are constant over time can be unresilient. This distinction between static stability and resilience is important. Static stability is something you can see; it’s measured by variation in the condition of a system week by week or year by year. Resilience is something that may be very hard to see, unless you exceed its limits, overwhelm
