A complex system is considered stable when it can withstand perturbations or disturbances without collapsing or undergoing a significant change in its behavior. Stability in complex systems is often achieved through mechanisms such as redundancy, feedback loops, and adaptability. For instance, in a network, stability can be maintained by ensuring that there are multiple paths for information or resources to flow, so if one path is disrupted, others can compensate.
Key Takeaways
Redundancy helps maintain stability by providing backup components or pathways
Feedback loops can stabilize a system by adjusting to changes
Adaptability allows a system to evolve and respond to new conditions
