I really enjoyed the article but I have lots of questions about the accuracy with which it's possible to model and account for such a dynamic and complex system. In addition, wanting to be able to account for rare or unusual circumstances upon which there may be limited data for how things interact only makes this harder!

Back in the day when corporations were run by engineers with access to embryonic infotech, a dynamic approach to systemic resilience made some progress, although undermined by the rise of legal-financial agglomeration and its complementary opposite, market-oriented disaggregation.

Given that UK Government is dominated by legal and financial types in thrall to market mythology, you have your work cut out to get this into the frame, even though the reality principle keeps puncturing complacency.
