Primes¶
- Coupling
- The coupling operates on a characteristic timescale — instantaneous, lagged, delayed — relative to internal dynamics; slow coupling permits quasi-decoupled analysis, fast coupling demands unified treatment. The slack-buffer-and-substitution availability
This sourceArgues loose coupling among subsystems confers stability/persistence by buffering against perturbation; directly supports the slack-buffer-and-substitution claim.
