C9. Network Level: Resilience

network level indicators the Resilience set: craftdccv The set (quickly) reroute important connections of resources, information and value. Transparency is the ability of agents within a system to see the actions of other agents, and participate in their planning. This allows agents to adapt their strategies to those of others and optimize their mutual balance within the system. Complexity says something about the intricacy of the network, affecting both efficiency, speed, and expected behaviour. You can measure it by combining the amount of nodes, the amount of connections and the network’s diversity. Centrality is a measure of structure of a complex network, which says something about to which extent the network is struc­ tured in a centralized or decentralized pattern. Diversity is the level at which agents and relations within the system differ from one another. In virtually all cases, a higher diversity increases all system indicators, resilience, autonomy and harmony. This can usually only happen in conjunction with increased flexibility. Validity is the truthfulness of information transmitted in a network as reflected on the objective observations of all of the nodes in the system. Also, it reflects on the relevance of the inquiry and the tools used. Measuring this parameter will expose a social component that may well be a pivotal indicator of the health of a society.
