Before revision:  Optimization fabrics , or fabrics for short, can encode commonalities among optimization problems that reflect the structure of the space itself, enabling smooth optimization processes to intelligently navigate each problem even when the potential function is simple and relatively naive. Importantly, optimization over a fabric is asymptotically stable, so optimization fabrics constitute a  building block for stable system design.
After revision:  These fabrics shape the system's behavior during optimization but still always provably converge to a building block for stable system design.
