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 …

trauma?

Too broad. It’s certainly a variety of trauma. Something like “trauma creep” might work.

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.

I don't know a word for it, but it applies to so many things. A prior history of trauma makes folks more susceptible to future PTSD, multiple concussions make athletes more likely to suffer future concussions, repetitive stress injuries, etc.
