RESILIENCE
(1) The measure of a system's ability to remain
within a domain of stability in response to fluctuations of the
system by a disturbance, and the ability of the system to return
to that stable domain having once left. (Holling) (2) The
ability of a system to make a smooth transition to a new stable
state in response to changes in external conditions. The wider
the range of external fluctuations in which the system can obtain
a stable state, the greater is the resiliency of the system.
(Turoff) See also stability. (3) a measure of the ability of a
system to absorb changes and still persist. (Holling)
