This has been my main dissatisfaction around antifragility. It theorizes the corner case without theorizing the default case. Sapolosky’s stuff is as good as it gets, and that’s very limited to zebra-level biological phenomenology. Cc @context_ing

Hmm how about “trauma creep”... same phenomenological family as “mission creep” or “boiled frog effect”https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1216430025689292800?s=21 …

With focus on systemic integrity/disintegrity response rather than specific symptoms. Yep trauma creep captures it.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1216430711399317504?s=21 …

In the long term nothing *is* alive. We all die. The default case is fragility until we invent immortality.

Meh, and a fundamental property that kills it eventually is fragility. No point arguing which is the better default case for theorizing. Pick the one that suits your problem.

That’s not what I’m talking about. It’s not magnitudes. I’m talking repeated low magnitude streams. Having to jump from bench all your life.

This is one common definition of good health in some circles: the slowest possible rate of dying.

Can’t think of a general term, but we have lots of local ones. Wear and tear, corrosion, breaking down, burnt out, depreciation of physical assets, etc.

Those terms are good for the symptoms but don’t capture the progressive unraveling of system integrity as it degrades from complex living system to pull of entropic mass energy.
