In this module, we will be discussing adaptive capacity and resiliency within social systems. We talk about two different strategies for trying to manage change, resistance and adaptation. Where resistance involves developing, some static identity based upon a boundary condition and creating a regulatory system for monitoring and controlling the system's environment. Inversely we will then talk about adaptation as a second alternative strategy, one that is focused on the system's capacity to generate a wide set of responses, insuring its capacity to reconfigure itself given as wide a spectrum of input values as possible, in so doing ensuring its resilience and continued functionality. Finally, we discuss the multidimensional nature to complex social systems being engaged in processes of change on various levels from the micro to the macro, giving us slow and fast variables.
