Fragility Regime

Definition

The specification of shock characteristics endemic to an institutional domain—amplitudes, temporal correlations, volatility constraints, and admissible disturbances. Regeneration is always defined relative to a fragility regime, never relative to all possible shocks.

Formula

Example

A climate adaptation system's fragility regime includes 4-year political cycles, annual budget volatility, and decadal climate recurrence patterns—but not asteroid impacts or civilization collapse. The Δ operator is designed for shocks within F.
