Irrational Resilience

Definition

Irrational resilience describes a system’s capacity to persist and recover from disruptions even when its underlying design or operational parameters suggest it should fail. In the context of digital assets, this might refer to a blockchain network’s unexpected ability to withstand severe attacks or extreme market conditions. This persistence often arises from unforeseen adaptive behaviors or distributed participant motivations. It represents a strength beyond conventional security analysis.
