Definitionv1

Antifragility: a system characteristic that gains strength

Antifragility: a system characteristic that gains strength and improves from exposure to disorder, stress, and volatility rather than merely maintaining stability or being harmed by such conditions

Why This Is a Definition

This definition establishes the precise semantic boundary of 'antifragility' by identifying its genus (system characteristic) and differentia (gains strength from disorder rather than just maintaining stability). It distinguishes it from robustness and fragile systems, capturing the specific mechanism of feedback-driven improvement through stress.
