Continuity Decay Regime (CDR): Modeling Progressive Loss of System Identity and Recoverability

Key Points

The aim is to model how complex systems lose coherence and recoverability over time.
Introduced a structured framework for understanding system loss.
Defined decay regimes for complexity degradation.
Identified measurable indicators for system decline.
Demonstrated that system failure is a progressive process rather than an instant event.
Enabled earlier detection of decline, allowing for timely interventions.
Highlighted the importance of monitoring structural, functional, and informational layers.

Abstract

The Continuity Decay Regime (CDR) introduces a structured framework for understanding how complex systems progressively lose coherence, identity, and recoverability over time. Rather than treating failure as a singular or instantaneous event, CDR models degradation as a directional process in which continuity erodes across structural, functional, and informational layers. By defining decay regimes and identifying measurable indicators, the framework enables earlier detection of system decline and supports informed intervention prior to irreversible collapse.
