Primes

• Adaptive Capacity
  • Adaptive capacity trades short-term efficiency against long-term viability

    This sourceHollnagel industrial case study efficiency fragility erosion.

• Carrying Capacity
  • Recognizing carrying capacity supports inference about the resilience-efficiency trade-off: a system run close to capacity is efficient but brittle, while one held with reserve headroom is wasteful but absorbs shocks, and the choice between them is a structural decision about where on the envelope to operate.
• Coupling

  • This sourceFounding collection treating recovery, anticipation, and adaptive capacity as design properties of safety-critical systems. (Bibliography only.)

• Resilience
  • Quantifying absorbing capacity is essential; a system's resilience envelope directly depends on the magnitude of reserves available. Recovery or reorganization mechanism. After a disturbance, the system returns to function through recovery (engineering), remains within regime (ecological), or reorganizes while keeping identity (adaptive), as Hollnagel, Woods, and Leveson (2006) develop for engineered systems in Resilience Engineering

    This sourceAshgate. Foundational collection establishing resilience engineering as a discipline; develops recovery mechanisms, anticipation, and adaptive capacity as design properties of safety-critical engineered systems.

    Supported in partVerified against the work's full text

    Publisher's page for this book supplies its contents and blurb—resilience engineering for system safety—but not the three recovery/regime/identity mechanisms or the absorbing-capacity claim.

    “This definitive new book explores this groundbreaking new development in safety and risk management, where 'success' is based on the ability of organizations, groups and individuals to anticipate the changing shape of risk before failures and harm occur.”

Domain-specific

• Latent Condition
  • The concept's distinctive contribution to the within-domain transfer is the audit-window posture: because a latent condition is inspectable throughout its dormant interval, safety can be posed as finding and removing resident pathogens before activation, and this is what the surrounding intervention vocabulary operationalises — Reason-style organisational audits and FMEA (deliberate latent-condition discovery without waiting for incidents), forcing functions and interlocks (removing conditions by making certain misuses impossible), just-culture frameworks (pairing with active-failure analysis to redirect attribution to the latent layer), defences-in-depth audits, and resilience engineering (Hollnagel, Woods, Wreathall), which extends the same active/latent stratification with a positive counterpart, sources of resilience pre-staged in the system

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 5 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
