Fragility is ...


... the arch-enemy - not the polar opposite - of resilience

... a natural consequence of complexity and dependence

... when threat meets vulnerability exceeding control

... not knowing whether, how and when it will break

... being unable/unwilling/afraid to rely on it 

... untrustworthy, inadequate controls

... pushing too far, too fast, too hard

... passing the point of no return

... exceeding the breaking strain

... an engineering challenge

... inevitable at some point

... hanging on by a thread

... often revealed too late

... a propensity to failure

... being on a knife-edge

... going over the brink

... obvious in hindsight

... being a snowflake

... a smashed mirror

... beyond the pale

... a broken vase

... a cracked egg

... a step too far

... uncertainty

... snap!

...
