Abstract

Abstract Principles of system instability in the literature fall into seven categories, distinguished by the nature of the system's strategic response to potential sources of instability. Each of the principles is illustrated using various cases, including the Industrial Revolution. The principles suggest an optimal design of quick‐response teams for coping with major social surprises, and seven early‐warning indicators of impending socio‐economic‐environmental surprises.
