F = {F_fin, F_gov, F_cap, F_civ}
The set of cycles that cause institutional decay when coupled to capital. Fragility cycles include financial volatility (revenue shocks), political cycles (elections, budget calendars), capability degradation, and civic fragility (donor enthusiasm waves).
When hospital capital follows F_gov (3-4 year political cycles) rather than M (5-7 year equipment cycles), renewal systematically misses windows. The fragility cycle overrides mission requirements.
