   “what do systems draw on to stretch to handle surprises? Systems with finite resources in changing environments are always experiencing and stretching to accommodate events that challenge boundaries. And what systems can escape the constraints of finite resources and changing conditions? Without some capability to continue to stretch in the face of events that challenge boundaries, systems are more brittle than stakeholders realize.”

     “S4: No single unit, regardless of level or scope, can have sufficient range of adaptive behavior to manage the risk of saturation alone, therefore, alignment and coordination are needed across multiple interdependent units in a network.”
